• Plan your movies in advance to add a feeling of continuity. Film your scenes in a
story-telling sequence . Make your shortest "takes" at least five seconds.
• For near subjects, 4 to 8 feet from camera, keep the ZOOM LEVER set on WIDE.
Sharpest full range zooms, from WIDE to TELE are obtained when subject is situated
8 feet from camera or beyond.
• Take pictures with the sun behind your back whenever possible . The electric eye can
"read" the scene and set the lens more accurately if this rule is followed.
• When using a movie light keep subject closer to the background than to the camera
to assure even overall lighting.
• If you film a scene by "panning" (moving the camera horizontally or vertically while
shooting) , keep the movement very slow to avoid blurring and jerkiness in your pro-
jected pictures.
