The Canon XH A1 HD camcorder

Quick Guide

ND filter continued:

Low light settings in manual mode:

Turn off the ND filter off

If you are shooting at nighttime, or indoors with available light (lamps, shooting

near windows etc. without additional lighting equipment), lower the shutter speed

- bring the number down to let more light into the picture

If using a shutter speed lower than 24, you may get afterimage trails

Open up the iris using the iris ring to let in more light

______________

GAIN CONTROL

As a last resort in low-light situations, use the Gain switch.

AGC (automatic gain control)

Turn off the AGC or the gain will be fluctuating all the time,

and set the gain manually.

Manual gain control is indicated by L-M-H settings

Use your viewfinder to judge the amount of gain control acceptable

Gain control allows you to digitally lighten the picture, rather than adjusting the

camera settings. You will get digital artifacting such as pixellation and graininess

______________

WHITE BALANCE

You tell the camera what ʻwhiteʼ is in your shooting/lighting situation so it can

accurately represent color. In video, the white wavelength contains all the colors,

so when you white balance your camera, your are also setting all the colors

correctly based on your shooting situation, or on the desired effect

Two types of light:

daylight - more blue

tungsten - more yellow

The White Balance control is below the power dial

PRE = presets, used for outdoor lighting

presets are located the LCD screen – Sun icon for shooting outside, Lightbulb

icon for indoor lighting

How to white balance - setting a true white balance:

Set switch to A or B, either is ok. Having A and B options allows you to set for 2

lighting situations and white balance ahead of time

Set to A, have your subject hold a white piece of paper, and hit the WB button,

The WB icon will flash on your screen, and once it stops flashing, the camcorder

is white balanced for that particular shooting session
