#### add_image_mobject_from_camera(image_mobject_from_camera)

Adds an ImageMobject that’s been obtained from the camera
into the list `self.image_mobject_from_cameras`

* **Parameters:**
  **image_mobject_from_camera** ([*ImageMobjectFromCamera*](manim.mobject.types.image_mobject.ImageMobjectFromCamera.md#manim.mobject.types.image_mobject.ImageMobjectFromCamera)) – The ImageMobject to add to self.image_mobject_from_cameras
* **Return type:**
  None

#### capture_mobjects(mobjects, \*\*kwargs)

Capture mobjects by printing them on `pixel_array`.

This is the essential function that converts the contents of a Scene
into an array, which is then converted to an image or video.

* **Parameters:**
  * **mobjects** (*Iterable* *[*[*Mobject*](manim.mobject.mobject.Mobject.md#manim.mobject.mobject.Mobject) *]*) – Mobjects to capture.
  * **kwargs** (*Any*) – Keyword arguments to be passed to `get_mobjects_to_display()`.
* **Return type:**
  None

### Notes

#### get_mobjects_indicating_movement()

Returns all mobjects whose movement implies that the camera
should think of all other mobjects on the screen as moving

* **Return type:**
  list

#### reset()

Resets the MultiCamera.

* **Returns:**
  The reset MultiCamera
* **Return type:**
  [MultiCamera](#manim.camera.multi_camera.MultiCamera)

#### update_sub_cameras()

Reshape sub_camera pixel_arrays

* **Return type:**
  None
