Abstract

Time estimation of shooting and viewing activities with a video camera was investigated with the time production method in three conditions. In the shooting condition, 13 subjects shot and videotaped an object (i.e., a white sphere or a white dog statue) with a video camera. In the viewfinder condition, the subjects viewed the object through the viewfinder of the camera without videotaping. In the viewing condition, the subjects viewed the object without the camera. Experimental results indicated that the subjects estimated the duration shorter under the shooting condition than under the viewing condition. On the other hand, no significant difference in the time judgments was found between the viewfinder condition and the other conditions. These findings suggest that time estimation of shooting is affected by videotaping (i.e., recording) in addition to framing.
