    A frame is a single reading from a linear sequence of signals. Moving image cameras are designed for speed, capturing change and transition as seamlessly as possibly. A still camera, operating at speed, will capture a less vivid, less clear, less detailed picture because it is relying on a limited amount of light hitting the receiver in a very short exposure. Moving image cameras are capturing hundreds of very high speed images, in order to maintain a certain speed rate, so by design they are lower quality, but as they are only on your retina for a tiny nth of a second it doesn't matter, the conveyance of continuity is the prime objective of a frame.
