Effects for video offer exactly the same choices as effects for still pictures:
Normal,
Black and White, Negative, Sepia, Solarize, Red Tint, Green Tint, and Blue Tint.
Flash and Video
What if you want to light up a dark scene? You can use the
same light you’d use for the camera flash by using the Light
button on the Video Capture Settings tray.
Your choices are rather simple: on or off, as shown in the
image here. Although turning on the light will help in very
dark situations, it’s not a substitute for adequate lighting
and it won’t work miracles.
Video Modes
Just as you can switch to different picture modes for
cool features like panoramas, you can switch video
modes on your DROID for sophisticated options.
1.
Launch the
Camera
app.
2.
Switch to Video mode .
3.
Press the
Menu
button.
4.
Tap Video Modes .
You’ll see choices like those on the right except for the original DROID.
Normal video
is
self-explanatory, and this is the setting you’ll use to return to your regular video settings.
Slow motion video captures extra frames, so when you play the video back, everything
appears to be slowed down. Fast motion does the opposite and skips frames. Video
Message is used for sending MMS video messages.
When you select either
Slow motion
or
Video Message
, your video resolution will drop.
Your DROID X doesn’t support shooting slow-motion video at HD resolution, and the
DROID and DROID 2 don’t support shooting HD video at all.
NOTE : You can’t make a Video Message out of a video you’ve already created in a higher
resolution, so be sure to change your settings before you shoot your video.
