With expertise in digital workflow, they maintain as-you-go backups and make sure when the button is pushed the image is captured and stored in an organized manner.  It is their responsibility to make sure the technology runs smoothly.  Serving as an extra set of eyes for the photographer they also advise on exposure, focus and needed set adjustments.
