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.
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.
