Tips on video making

 

You can easily look back on fun moments 

and relive them with the camcorder. To 

enjoy these memories to the fullest, here 

are some simple video tips:

•  When capturing videos, hold your 

camcorder steady in your hand

•  Don’t move too fast when panning 

(i.e. moving the camera horizontally) 

as it will be hard to follow what is 

captured when you review the video

•  Try shooting from different angles 

– for example, from the side, from 

the front, or even from below. You 

can easily join the different video 

segments together with the PC 

software included
