Advanced Operation with Two Camcorders
If video-editing is to be done, record using two camcorders so that a video
with varying scenes can be created. You can try asking a close friend who
has a camcorder at home. Set the borrowed camcorder on a tripod to focus
on taking close-up shots of the bride and groom. In this way, the other
camcorder can be moved around to record other scenes, enabling an
interesting video with changing scenes to be created through editing and
compilation. As most people own at least a digital camera nowadays, even
if you are really unable to find an extra camcorder, inserting still pictures to
the video at various points is also a good way to add variety. Do give it a try!

Bringing the Necessary Equipment
The necessary things to bring on a trip depends on your traveling purpose
and the destination. For overseas trips in particular, you have to think about
what to bring in accordance to the local conditions. Here are some
suggestions for your consideration.
o
Camcorder
Think about how many hours of shooting you will usually perform in a day.
Be sure to prepare enough recording medium especially for long overseas
trips.
If you are recording in SD cards, get ready the sufficient number of cards,
including some for backup.
o
Battery Pack
Prepare a battery pack that is ready for three times the expected recording
time in a day. For example, if you plan to record for 2 hours a day, prepare
a battery pack that is ready for 6 hours (actual recording time).
For a day trip, you can prepare a battery with low capacity but for a long trip,
do prepare a few batteries with high capacities.
o
AC Adapter
The JVC AC adapter supports voltages from 110 V to 240 V, and hence can
be used anywhere in the world.
Bring along the adapter if you are traveling for a long time. Charge the battery
pack while sleeping so that you can record with full battery power the next
day.
o
Power Plug Adapter
.
The shape of the power plug varies according to countries. Be sure to check
the shape of the power plug beforehand, and bring the appropriate power
plug adapter.
