Strike Camera
Introduction
Forward and aft photographic documentation of weapon impacts is provided by two motion-picture cameras installed in a nonjettisonable pod on the underside of the left wing, approximately midway between the fuselage and inboard wing station.

Controls
Strike Camera Settings Menu
To access the settings menu the default keybind is Right Ctrl + C.
Type N-9 Forward Camera Settings
The forward camera is a Type N-9, identical to the Type N-9 that is mounted on the sight, except that the pod camera has a 20 to 80 mm variable focal length lens and a larger film magazine. The forward camera is mounted on an adjustable base that permits various elevation adjustments from zero (straight forward) to 20 degrees down.
DBM-4C Aft Camera Settings
The aft camera is a Type DBM-4C that is an electrically driven, 16 mm internally loaded reel type camera. It has a 17 to 68 mm variable focal-length lens. The aft camera mount is adjustable to permit variations in elevation from zero (straight aft) to 25 degrees down and from 45 to 60 degrees down. Camera operation is completely automatic and is initiated by pressing the trigger to the first and/or second detent, or pressing the bomb button. There are no other wing camera pod system cockpit controls. Adjustment for elevation, light conditions, frame speed, lens aperture, and camera overrun time are preset in the pod before flight.
Normal Operation
With the strike camera recording option enabled clips will be generated and saved when the pickle button is pressed.
