As a general rule, your video will look better if you zoom the lens before
you start your recording:
–
Focus on the subject first, then begin recording.
–
If you must zoom during a recording, treat it as a special effect and zoom slowly.
Exposure
–
Remember to shoot with the sun or the primary light source behind you.
–
Keeping the range of contrast in your scene to a reasonable level is the
easiest way to improve the picture quality.
–
Pay special attention to objects in the LCD screen that appear very washed out or
over exposed.
–
Making a simple change in how the camera is aimed or by zooming in slightly,
you may reduce contrast to a reasonable range.
Length of Recording
Many recordings are ruined by stopping the recording too soon and missing the best
moment:
–
Always try for at least a 10 second recording.
–
When in doubt, let the recording continue longer.
–
It is much easier to edit unneeded material later.
