Public role descriptions assign lens and exposure records differently: the ScreenSkills script supervisor description includes recording ISO, colour temperature and per-camera lens, focal length, t-stop, filters and non-standard shutter/FPS; IATSE Local 634 says the script supervisor may note lenses, focal length and zoom 'as a courtesy to the Camera Department'; the FSU film handbook has the 2nd AC complete a camera continuity log only when there is no script supervisor, otherwise a camera report.

Curator qualifications: Form column lists (E2, E3) and the Cooke single-lens anecdote about falsified camera reports (E6) not reinspected. C2-B25-B3 S10 confidential-marking hold preserved; not consulted. Document text only.

Limitations: UK training body, US union local and a US film school handbook; practice varies by production.

Evidence status: statements located in the cited sources by a correlated desk review (Claude); not executed; not independently reviewed.
