Lighting Techniques

When you use your camcorder, there are normally
only two main recording environments.
- You will be shooting outdoors (Normal recording or
through an ND (Neutral Density) filter).
- You will be shooting indoors (Video light
recommended or required).
The single greatest influence on picture quality is the
level of brightness, measured in lux.
The following table lists a few common situations, the
corresponding level of brightness and any associated
recommendations.
Situations
Snow-covered mountains or fields.
Sandy beach on a hot
summer's day.
On a sunny day in the middle
of the afternoon.
On a gloomy day, an hour
after the sunrise.
Office with fluorescent lighting
near to a window.
On a sunny day, an hour
before the sunset.
Department store counter.
Room lit by two 30W
fluorescent lights.
Arcade at night.
Candle light.
After Shooting
1. Eject the tape that you have shot. (see page 22)
2. If you want to protect the tape against accidental erasing,
move the red tab on the cassette to cover the hole.
3. Set the POWER switch to OFF.
4. Close the LENS cover.
5. Remove the BATTERY PACK from the camcorder.
