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.
