This guideline provides a simple method for measuring the acoustical noise output of motion-picture cameras in use on the set of a production. The guideline applies to noise occurring in only one circumstance: in front of a given camera in a specific acoustical environment. Thus, the measurements given by this guideline are not comparable with others made in different situations. This guideline also gives limits on acceptability of measured camera noise due to the combined effects of the camera and its environment. Methods for reducing camera noise which are practicable on the set are included.
