PRODUCING BEST COLOR PROGRAM
Lighting should be uniform from the top of the objects
Essential points on lighting people
1. A Main light should be provided at the upper left
in front of the person. (Key light)
2. A weaker Fill light (spot) should be provided at
the upper right and balanced with the Key light.
(Adjusting so that the left: right ratio is 2:1.5 by
moving the lights backwards and forwards.)
3. Use one more light behind the object (Back light).
This emphasizes the person's head and shoul-
ders and prevents the object from being lost in
the background.
Caution: Do not place lighting equipment near the
video camcorder as heat from the lighting equipment
can cause the video camcorder to malfunction.

Approximate brightness value (for reference only)
Illumination of 300 to 100,000 lux is required for
clearest pictures, though the camera can shoot an
object in illumination of 10 to 100,000 lux in the
"AUTO IRIS" mode. Install a ND (Neutral Density)
filter (37mm dia. and 0.75mm pitch) on the lens if an
object's illumination exceeds 100,000 lux.
