USEFUL TECHNIQUES FOR RECORDING
Preparation
– Always check available memory space and battery power in advance. Make sure
your battery is fully charged.
Stabilizing Your Picture
– Look for a place to sit down and take your video.
– Look for something you can set your camera on.
Camera Movement
– If you must move the camera, do it slowly.
Zooming
As a general rule, your video will look better if you zoom the lens before you start your
recording:
– Focus on the subject first, then begin recording.
Exposure
– Remember to shoot with the sun or the primary light source behind you. Keeping the
range of contrast in your scene to a reasonable level is the easiest way to improve
the picture quality.
– Pay special attention to objects in the LCD screen that appear very washed out or
over exposed.
Length of Recording
– Always try for at least a 10 second recording.
– When in doubt, let the recording continue longer. It is much easier to edit unneeded
material later.
