MENU
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 moment:
Recording Techniques
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.
