Recording Tips • Try to make sure indoor scenes are well-lit. This improves picture quality and color reproduction. Do not move the camcorder rapidly from side-to-side while recording. A steady, gradual "pan" avoids blurring and "jitter". 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 functions. • Fading in and out of scenes makes your videos appear more professional. Learn to use the special production effects available with your camcorder to add variety to your recordings. Be aware of video and audio backgrounds. Background details barely noticed while you are taping may show up as visual "clutter" on your recording. Background noises (especially TV sets, radios, household appliances, traffic sounds, etc.) might detract from the sound you want to record. Avoid long "still" shots of landmarks and scenic attractions. Recordings are more interesting if they include people and details. "Local color" gives travel videos lasting appeal. Consider recording a familiar or landmark scene from an unfamiliar vantage point. 6
