Information Required for Usage of Professional Camera Equipment held in MCASI Store

For undergraduates’ courses, camera selection is pre-allocated to the various units and is approved through the Project Approval process with their supervising tutor.

Undergraduates wanting to access a camera outside of their unit allocation MUST seek approval from their supervising academic and are to discuss details during the Project Approval process such as;

  • The reasoning for selecting the camera chosen for the project, including both creative and technical aspects

  • Shooting environment (interior, exterior, etc.)

  • Any other relevant details
