Useful Shooting Techniques

oBattery Charger

Recording cannot be performed when an AC adapter is connected to the camcorder for battery charging.

You can bring an additional battery charger to charge battery packs if you plan to use the camcorder for recording at night. You can also charge multiple battery packs by using both the battery charger and this camcorder at the same time.

oTripod

A tripod is an essential item to take stable images. Select an appropriate tripod in accordance to your purpose and style of traveling, such as a compact one to be used on a table or one that is at least 1 m tall.

Recording the Excitement Before Departure

It may be a little abrupt to start your travel video at the destination suddenly. Record also the preparations prior to departure if it is a family trip, or the time when everyone is gathered at the meeting place if you are traveling with your friends.

For overseas trips, taking a shot of the signs and displays at the airport of the flight you are taking may be useful for future reference.

Using Pan at the Places of Interest

Tourists spots with beautiful scenery or historical sites are places that you would certainly want to record.

To capture the magnificence of a scene which cannot be fitted into a single frame, try the panning technique.

Refer to the "Shooting Tips" found in this website on how to use panning effectively.

In addition, you may also like to take a shot of the signs or monuments that can often be found at the tourist spots.

Showing Everyone Having a Good Time

When taking a video, it is rather dull to shoot only the scenery or historical sites.

Talk about your feelings while recording the breath-taking scenery of an attraction so that it will be an interesting scene to view later.
