Nikon cameras are used to continously take overlapping pictures of the earth surface or the clouds below the aircraft. Rarely they are installed in an upward looking position. Nikon D5 features a 153-point AF system that acquires subjects rapidly and holds them tightly. Standard sensitivity range is extended to ISO 102400, while delivering stunning image quality at higher sensitivities. An incredibly stable viewfinder image permits confident tracking of moving subjects even during approx. 12-fps continuous shooting with full-time AF and AE, sustainable up to 200 frames. The cameras are controlled from an operator PC installed in a rackAXIS P1214-E is a tiny HDTV 720p camera for exceptionally discreet surveillance, ideal for capturing subjects at close range. AXIS P1214-E comprises a main unit and a separate sensor unit that can be mounted up to 8 m (26 ft.) apart. In the BT-67 aircraft it is used to monitor sky above the aircraft (upward looking) and surface below the aircraft (downward looking).
