Then you set your aperture and ISO so that exposure (brightness of the video) is not too dark or too
bright. Definitely turn off any AUTO settings, because the camera always "assumes" that the scene
with Visual Poi is too dark and turns the brightness up. Set your aperture and ISO according to the
camera display - make sure the colors are not too pale (blown out). It's always good to make the
settings a bit darker than too bright.
What frame rate to use? We found 30fps to give a good balance between reasonably long Visual Poi
trails and fluidity of movements. 25fps is also good (then you set your shutter speed to 1/25 sec). A
solid tripod for your camera or camcorder is also highly recommended.
What camera to use? There are many suitable models on the market, but we had good results with
Sony
1” chip cameras like
FDR-AX100 and PXW-X70.
Maintenance
Charging
When the battery indicator drops down in level, the Visual Poi needs to be recharged. You can use
the included charger or any mobile phone charger supplying 5V from its USB connector. Visual Poi is
fully charged, when the red LED indicator next to the USB connector turns off.
