** For this camera you will need a wide angle lens for adequate capture in most environments: Canon make one, but it is expensive. A good compromise is the following, which is good quality Helder MW-4558 58mm HD 0.45x Wide Angle Conversion Lens: http://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/758310-REG/Helder_mw_4558_Wide_Angle_Lens_Converter.html

This is a page to add advice about specific guides for data recording, equipment and collection based on a document circulated by Ruth Parry: Conversation analysis and Clinical Encounters Conference York 2013 Report from a Knowledge sharing workshop: Tools, techniques, tips, processes, software, hardware.

What's on your packing list?

  • Camera(s)
  • SD flash memory cards (SDHD = high capacity SD)
  • Camera clamp/pole/tripod etc.
  • Wide angle lens
  • Mic(s)
  • Mic stand
  • Digital voice recorder for back up
  • Headphones
  • Bulldog clips, duct tape
  • Spare batteries
  • Consent forms, record forms

Camera(s)

Things to consider when selecting cameras:

  • Bring one or more cameras?
  • External power supply? (ideally don't run them on batteries)
  • Fish eye / wide angle lens recommended
  • Headphone jack for monitoring audio recording?
  • External mic jack?
  • Remote on/off control can be useful
  • Lens cap you can put on to record sound only


Camera Storage media

  • Don't go for direct to DVD (they are trouble!)
  • Go for high definition + records onto SD card
  • They tend to record to their own proprietary formats
  • JVC records to an MPEG4 which houses an MPEG2, Canon records to MTS files
  • They all need converting (encoding) into a format you can play, edit, and that works with your analysis software
  • CLAN, ELAN (?transana) work well with MPEG2

Other camera ideas

  • Camera you can turn into a player that projects onto the wall (show participants straight away)
  • Eg. Sony

Camera recommendations
