27. Closely scrutinizing the location for its technical and aesthetic capabilities






28. Loud - sudden sound that exceeds 0dB

48. Adjusting the optical center away from the focal plane and therefore increasing the magnification power of the lens (telephoto)






49. Controlling the strength of the signal






50. Recording is too low
