To monitor coral reef health and diversity, the Long Term Monitoring Program initially conducted video transects before changing to photographic transects upon each of its sites. This metadata record contains information on the type of video format the video transects were recorded on and the model of digital cameras used throughout the program. From 1992 through to 1998 Hi8, 8mm video, was used before transitioning in 1999 to DV which was used until 2006. From 2006 until present, digital still photos are taken using the following cameras: 2006/07 Canon Powershot S80 3264x2448 photo size 2-3MB 2007/08 Canon Powershot A650 IS 3264X2448 photo size 4 -5MB 2008/09 cruises JW and JX Canon Powershot A650 3264X2448 photo size 4 -5MB 2008/09 cruises JZ and KC Canon Powershot G10 3456X2592 Photo size 4 – 5MB 2009/10 Canon Powershot G10 3456X2592 Photo size 4 – 5MB 2010/11 Canon Powershot G10 3456X2592 Photo size 4 – 5MB 2011/12 Canon Powershot G10 3456X2592 Photo size 4 – 5MB 2012/13 Canon Powershot G10 3456X2592 Photo size 4 – 5MB 2013/14 Canon Powershot G1X 3072x2304 Photo size 2 - 3MB 2014/15 Canon Powershot G1X Mk II 3072x2048 Photo size 3 – 4MB 2015/16 Canon Powershot G1X Mk II 3072x2048 Photo size 3 – 4MB 2016/17 Canon Powershot G1X Mk II 3072x2048 Photo size 3 – 4MB 2017/18 Canon Powershot G1X Mk II 3072x2048 Photo size 3 – 4MB 2017/18 Canon PowerShot G7 X Mark II 3648x2432 Photo size 5 – 6MB
