Part 4/10:
Time-Lapse Photography: The ISS footage is assembled from over 1,300 individual photographs taken every few seconds by Nikon DSLR cameras set up on the station’s windows.
High-Quality Raw Files: These images are available in Nikon NEF raw format, which contains uncompressed data directly from the camera sensor, allowing for in-depth analysis beyond the limitations of JPEG compression.
Metadata Transparency: Each image includes detailed metadata such as date, time, latitude, longitude, camera settings, and even lens specifications, allowing for precise geolocation and environmental context.
The speaker emphasizes that raw files, especially in NEF format, contain far more information than standard web-processed images, making any manipulation or fakery easily detectable.
