The word filming was a very generic term. BTW - I hear many people today saying they are taping a show on their DVR (TiVo etc.) There isn't any tape in them. The right term is recording a show or saving a show. It takes a while for the nomenclature to change. When video games came out in the early 80s, people called the cartridges tapes even though they didn't have tape in them, they had ROMs. One last thing, to record a TV show, even back then, you could record off the video out feed from the TV/monitor. You didn't have to point a camera at the screen. Video tape for the home or consumer was almost unheard of in 67. The word filming was a very generic term.

With this Sony Camera you can FILM almost any scene. I guess for a time of early transition, using the verb film is excusable. But, 32 years later, I still hear it. A.
