Recording Tips
• Try to make sure indoor scenes are
well-lit. This improves picture qualily
and color reproduction.
• Do not move lhe camcorder rapidly
from side-to-side while recording,
A steady, gradual "pan" avoids
blurring and "jitler",
• Use the viewfinder to make sure the
camcorder is level while recording so
that your scene isn't "tilted",
• Do not bump or tap the camcorder's
microphone while recording because
this sound is recorded.
• Include close-ups of individuals
when taping family outings or
group funclions.
• Use the built-in color enhancement
light io improve picture quality,
• Fading and wiping in and out of scenes
makes your videos appear more
professional,
Learn Io use the special i_ AE produc-
tion effects available wilh your
camcorder to add variety to your
recordings,
Be aware of video and audio back-
grounds, Background details barely
noticed while you are taping may
show up as visual "clutler" on your
recording, Background noises
(especially TV sets, radios, household
appliances, traffic sounds, elc.) might
detract from the sound you want
to record,
Avoid long "still" shots of landmarks
and scenic altractions, Recordings are
more inleresting if they include people
and details. "Local color" gives travel
videos lasting appeal Consider
recording a familiar or landmark
scene from an unfamiliar vantage
