the Basics

Tips for Making Better Videos

Composition

The most important element in the scene does not have to

be in the center. For a more interesting picture, try to

position your subject so it is slightly to one side. Leave

some space on the side of the frame that the subject is

facing or moving towards.

For maximum stability, grip the camera in your right hand

and keep your right elbow pressed against your body.

If necessary support the camera with your left hand. With

practice, you will be able to operate the controls by touch,

without taking your eye off the action.

To prevent any unwanted movement, you can mount the

camera on a tripod, (or any flat surface at a suitable

height) and operate it with the wireless controller.

• When you are using a tripod, be careful not to leave the

viewfinder exposed to bright sunlight or it may melt.

(The light is concentrated by the viewfinder lens.)

• When not using the camera, return the viewfinder to its

retracted position.

• Make sure that the fastening screw of the tripod is no

longer than 3/16 inch (5.5 mm), or it will damage the

camera.

Don’t cut off the top of the subject’s head, and don’t cut

people off at the neck, hips or knees (move a little bit

above or below).

Watch out for distracting objects in the background.
