    Put your camera on the tripod, set it to “M” mode and for starters try dialing the following camera settings: • ISO 100-200 • Aperture F/6.3 • Shutter speed 1/4 sec Instruct your performer to spin 3-beat weave (or any other trick) and start taking photos. If the photo is too dark or bright, change the aperture.

    Then you set your aperture and ISO so that exposure (brightness of the video) is not too dark or too bright. Definitely turn off any AUTO settings, because the camera always "assumes" that the scene with Visual Poi is too dark and turns the brightness up. Set your aperture and ISO according to the camera display - make sure the colors are not too pale (blown out).
