Two small cameras are installed on the start block of each sprinter.
New close-up camera shots of sprinters settling on the starting block after two German players complained are being limited.
The World Athletic Organization IAAF agreed to show only close-ups of squat players waiting for a starting pistol.
"Block Cam" is an innovation of the world championships held in Doha, Qatar.
Gina Lückenkemper and Tatjana Pinto complained that they did not consult about cameras installed on blocks for 100m races.
Their complaint was filed by the International Association of Athletic Federations (IAAF) by the German Athletics Association (DLV).

Gina Lückenkemper said it was "very unpleasant" to keep the camera too close.
Lückenkemper and Pinto were both pushed out of the 100m semifinals and called the intimate camera "very suspicious".
Lückenkemper said, “I think it's very unpleasant to step on this camera while entering this poorly dressed block.

On September 9, the IAAF brought more exciting news to viewers by releasing "Trail Blazing Technology" for the Doha World Athletics Championships, including "A New Camera Bringing an Innovative Angle to Competition."
IAAF director of the broadcaster James Lord said the existing camera shot "showed only the top or side of the head when taking a ticket," and "the new camera in the block will capture that intense moment just before the race."
Media playback not supported on the device
Two small cameras were installed on each starting block for 100m and sprint obstacle races.
In the settlement reached late on Sunday, the large screen close-up shows only the players crouching on the block at the moment before the sprint begins.
The camera's video data is also deleted on a daily basis.
The women's 100m final was won by Jamaican Shelly-Ann Fraser-Pryce.

Sprinter Tatjana Pinto (R) filed a joint complaint with Lückenkemper
Prominent German activist Amélie Ebert supported the dissatisfaction of the sprinters and pointed out:
"I often wondered why our players don't have the right to consult which picture to use," she told the German daily Rheinische Post. The shoot included a "close-up of our splitting", she added.
