Intro to Video Camera

In this lesson, we were introduced to the camera and all its parts. We were shown how to put it together careful and also take it apart. We were reminded to be careful when removing the camera off the tripod stand because the area of the centre of gravity has changed and therefore could hit the tripod and damage the camera. Then we were shown how to put the microphone and the pan handle on. After learning this, we were then told how the camera actually worked. There were many different buttons to use, like the zoom and the lighting. We were shown where each button was, what it did, and how to operate it. On the top right hand of the screen on the camera, there was an area where the number of frames were shown, 0-27, and seconds, minutes and hours.
