Video camera selector device

A method of operating a camera comprising:

• actuating a variable-frame-rate-trigger by variation of operation of at least one operating parameter;
• determining a capture frame rate as a function of said operating parameter;
• and
• capturing image data at said capture frame rate.

A method of operating a camera comprising:

• actuating a variable-frame-rate-trigger with a first user input and in response thereto capturing a first plurality of images having a first frame rate;
• actuating said variable-frame-rate-trigger with a second user input, wherein said second user input is different from said first user input and in response to said second user input capturing a second plurality of images having a second frame rate, wherein said second frame rate is dependent on said second user input, and said second frame rate is different from said first frame rate;
• and
• storing said first and second pluralities of images at said first frame rate and said second frame rate, respectively.

A method of creating and displaying video of an object comprising:

• imaging said object on a photodetector array;
• in response to a first user input applied to a variable-frame-rate-trigger:
• generating a first image data set representative of said object;
• then waiting a first period of time, then generating a second image data set representative of said object immediately after said first period of time;
• in response to a second user input applied to said variable-frame-rate-trigger, wherein said second user input is different then said first user input:
• generating a third image data set representative of said object;
• then waiting a second period of time, then generating a fourth image data set representative of said object immediately after said second period of time, wherein said second period of time is different than said first period of time;
• streaming at least said first image data set, said second image data set, and streaming said third image data set and said fourth image data set.

A method of capturing image data with a camera comprising:

• determining a frame rate for future image capture based upon a user input provided while the camera is simultaneously capturing image data;
• then capturing further image data at said determined frame rate;
• and
• storing said captured image data.

A camera user interface comprising:

• means for capturing frames at a frame rate;
• means for selectively varying said frame rate while capturing said frames;
• and
• means for storing said captured frames.
