yes. However, if people put their whole talk on one slide it is unreadable. 
So a camera Op may decide to try and go closer on a slide. Presenters 
should never put more than 7 BULLET points on a slide. 5 is better.

The other way round the issue is multiple cameras, which means a mixer and 
recorder. Which all means more time to set up and more staff. One camera is 
always hard.
