Camera Types • SD Cameras run on an SD card similar to what is inside a USB flashdrive. Each video clip is a file. These cameras are very durable but the quality suffers. - This is what we use in BRI • HD Cameras run on a harddrive much like a computer. These are actual footage loops that have be captured into a computer. These are good quality but are very sensitive to bumps and shakes. • DV Tape cameras use tape. These provide the best quality but tape must be used and captured in REAL time. This is what we use in BRIV.
Lens • Do not attempt to clean or repair a lens. If you have issues with your please ask me to clean it. • Do NOT point the lens directly at light at anytime. Lens are similar our eyes and light can permanently damage our cameras. • Do not touch the lens directly. • Close the lens cap as you move from place to place. • Do not pull back lens cap as you fidget.
Weather • Avoid sudden changes in temperature. • Do not turn on device after being left in extreme cold or heat. • No Water! If it rains, come back in. • If the device gets wet do not plug it in.
Viewfinder • The viewfinder is where you can find all of your settings, functions, and playback. • DO NOT twist, force, or fidget with this. There is no other way for a camera person to see what they are filming.
Camera Settings • Before filming adjust the following: • Zoom speed to Level 2 • Menu, settings, to Portrait or the face. • Audio on • Battery Life • Memory Card clean and deleted (unless otherwise instructed).
Audio • Boom mics can be used with Canon FS100 but take headphones to double check for cackling. • Built in Microphone is small, project, and consider location.
Recording • Check for the Red Dot in the corner to be sure you are recording!! • Play back footage when you can. • DO NOT overwhelm yourself with too many takes or too many clips that are never going to be used.
Mounts • Be sure that the device is securely mounted to the tripod/monopod before moving. • Remove head FIRST! • Do not twist camera onto head.
