Preparation

– Always check available memory space and battery power in advance.

– A spare battery may be useful.

Stabilizing Your Picture

Try these tips to improve the image:

– Look for a place to sit down and take your video.

– Look for something you can set your camera on.

– Consider using a tripod or a monopod to further steady your video.

Camera Movement

The most enjoyable and professional looking videos generally have very little camera movement

– Treat all movements as a special effect.

– 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.

– If you must zoom during a recording, treat it as a special effect and zoom slowly.

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.

– Making a simple change in how the camera is aimed or by zooming in slightly, you may

reduce contrast to a reasonable range.

Length of Recording

Many recordings are ruined by stopping the recording too soon and missing the best

Recording Techniques Getting Started

moment:

– 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.
