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 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 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 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. – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – Easy Start Guide This easy start guide is designed to navigate you to using your new Everio quickly.
