Abstract: A digital video camera may include a digital video image sensor for capturing digital video footage to be stored on an internal memory. The digital video image sensor and internal memory may be housed in a camera body. A retractable arm having a data connector may be attached to the camera body. The arm can be extended from and retracted into the camera body, while the data connector can be used to transfer digital video footage to an external device, such as a computer. The data connector may conform to a standard for connecting peripheral devices, such as the Universal Serial Bus (USB) standard or the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers 1394 (IEEE 1394) standard.

Abstract: Various methods, apparatuses, and systems in which a digital photography device includes a rolling shutter, a sensor, and a flash are described. The sensor implements a rolling shutter timing mechanism. The shutter includes a material that has an alterable translucent state. The shutter is in the optical path of light going to the sensor. The flash generates a pulsed illumination. The alterable translucent state of the shutter controls the sensor's exposure to the photographic effects of ambient light during a picture using the pulsed illumination.

Abstract: A digital camera having a limiting-use component to limit use of the digital camera to a single use-cycle.

Abstract: Various methods and apparatuses are described in which a digital video camera has a non-volatile digital storage medium that stores captured video content in a digital form. A server external to the digital video camera has a communication port to receive the captured video content. The server has a processor configured to process the video content and to supply the video content to a consumer in a video format useable by other consumer devices.
