How to use a camera...

  • Turn steady shot off when using a tripod
  • When putting the tape in the camera, don't push the 'don't push button'
  • Choose either wide screen or normal, don't keep changing the size
  • Make sure the lense is clean, don't smudge it with your fingers though, use a cloth
  • Set the camera to slow play
  • Set the exposure to manual
  • When you hit record, make sure you wait 5 seconds before filming
  • Don't point the camera straight at the sun or any bright lights
  • If your going to pan, make sure you have enough room
  • Set the white balance up correctly, use a white piece of paper where you are going to film, and zoom the camera in until you can't see any other colour
  • Record the room normal for the ambient sound, so you can use that sound when editing the cuts.
