Camera Induction

Today we were showed how to used the cameras. I learnt couple of things which are:

  • Press menu to change the recording size to 1080p because it has a high quality which would make the filming good. 
  • The exposure controls involve ISO (100-1600), Shutter speed (50) and aperture (able to experiment). The ISO should be used above 1600 because it would become over exposed.
  • The picture style needs to be neutral and you can change that by going into the menu. Auto White balance needs to be used to adjust the lighting.
  • Focus involves manual focus or automatic focus. We would use manual focus when filming
  • You are able to change the menu quickly by using quick menu.
