Preparation
– Always check available memory space and battery power in advance.
– Make sure your battery is fully charged.
– 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
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.
