I noticed this during Robert California's interview for Regional Manager. In one shot, we see Robert shot from over Jim's right shoulder. And in the next shot we see a medium wide shot taken on Robert's left side, but there's no camera operator behind Jim, which would surely be visible. There are lots of other situations where the camera dissapears: Michael will be having a conversation with someone in his office, where there must be at least two cameras because we see over the shoulder shots for each character. One of them exits into the main office, and we cut to another camera situated, say, the other side of Jim and Dwight's desk clump, and the camera operators in Michael's office have disappeared. I get it that, even from the point of view of the documentary, seeing cameras all over the place might be a little distracting, and sometimes there might be four or five cameras filming a scene, but the fact that you never see one in those situations is weird.
