FILE BACKUP (Windows PC)

Preparation

Always check available memory space and battery power in advance. 

Make sure your battery is fully charged. 

A spare battery may be useful.

Stabilizing Your Picture

Try these tips to improve the image:

Look for a place to sit down and take your video.

Look for something you can set your camera on.

Consider using a tripod or a monopod to further steady your video.

Camera Movement

The most enjoyable and professional looking videos generally have very little 
camera movement

Treat all movements as a special effect. 

If you must move the camera, do it slowly.

Zooming

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.
