1. A method of operating a camera system comprising the steps of:
- providing a camera system comprising a camera and a central processing unit;
capturing a view of a subject with the camera;
determining the cinematographic parameters of the view;
comparing the determined cinematographic parameters to reference cinematographic parameters;
formulating recommended camera operation based on the comparison of the determined cinematographic parameters to the reference cinematographic parameters; and
indicating the recommended camera operation to the user.

14. A camera system, comprising:
-
a camera system comprising a central processing unit and a camera for capturing a view of a subject, the central processor unit being in data communication with the camera, the central processor being configured to (i) determine the cinematographic parameters of the captured view, (ii) compare the determined cinematographic parameters to reference cinematographic parameters, and (iii) formulate recommended camera operation based on the comparison of the determined cinematographic parameters to reference cinematographic parameters; and
an indicating device for indicating the recommended camera operation to the user.

16. An article of manufacture, comprising a computer processor usable medium having computer processor readable program code embodied therein for determining the cinematographic parameters of a view captured by a camera and formulating recommended camera operation using a camera system comprising a central processing unit and a camera for capturing a view of a subject, the central processor unit being in data communication with the camera, the central processor being configured to (i) determine the cinematic parameters of the view, (ii) compare the determined cinematic parameters to reference cinematographic parameters, and (iii) formulate recommended camera operation based on the comparison of the determined cinematographic parameters to reference cinematographic parameters, the computer processor readable program code in the article of manufacture comprising:
-
computer processor readable program code configured to cause the camera system to determine the cinematographic parameters of a view captured by the camera;
computer processor readable program code configured to cause the camera system to compare the determined cinematographic parameters to reference cinematographic parameters;
computer processor readable program code configured to cause the camera system to formulate recommended camera operation based on the comparison of the determined cinematographic parameters and reference cinematographic parameters; and
computer processor readable program code configured to cause the camera system to indicate the recommended camera operation to the user.
