Camera Identification

The Zeiss RMK TOP 15 cameras are the current cameras produced by Carl Zeiss in Oberkochen, Germany. They are easy to identify by the digital printing between each frame of film. This digital printing is called data annotation.

The Zeiss RMK A camera is an older camera. It is identified by the four analog data chambers that print between each frame of film.

To Identify which RMK TOP Camera you need the report for, either check the flight report or film editing report sent to you along with the film, or you can identify the camera by looking at the film. With the data annotation correct reading, look just below the digital printing on the right side, in the clear area in the corner of the image is the RMK TOP 15 logo (just to the left of fiducial number 7). The camera serial number will be just under the RMK TOP 15 logo.

 

Download Calibration Report

Once you have identified which camera you have film for, you will then need to identify which report you should download. More than likely, you will need the most recent USGS calibration date for that camera. If you have older photography, then select the appropriate prior calibration date for the report. If you would like to know more about the RMK Top cameras that we use, check out the 'Equipment' section of our site.
