Useful Shooting Techniques

Inducing Responses by Calling Out

Videos with no waving of hands nor laughter are not only dull when you view them later, but also put the capability of the audio-recording function of the camcorder to a waste.

When recording, induce more reactions by enthusiastically waving your hands or shouting out "Is it fun?" and the like.

Capturing the Best Moment in a Video as a Still Image

Shots with the eyes closed are often taken by accident. To reduce such mistakes, make use of the function to capture still images from videos. As videos are actually continuous recording of 60 still images within 1 mi- nute, using this function allows you to select the best moment and save it as a still image.

Advanced Operation with Backlight Compensation

It is useful to make use of backlight compensation when the subject's face is in backlight or when the expression cannot be seen clearly. Increase the brightness of the whole image by setting “BACKLIGHT COMP.” if the faces appear too dark. Even the expressions of faces un- der shadows can be captured brightly and clearly.
