A good place to start is to set the ASA fairly low. This could be ISO 100 outdoors, and ISO
400 or 800 indoors. Then set the shutter speed to 1/60
th
, which is standard. After that,
you can play with the f stop, going from f5.6 to f8, to f11, and f16.
In practice, it may be necessary to vary the shutter speed a lot, going as high as 1/250 of a
second when working outdoors.
The camera has a "steady shot" compensation for camera shake, which should probably be
left in place for video recording.
MOVIE RECORD
The movie button acts pretty independently of the other controls. You can use the shutter
button for focus, and then hit the movie button. It records AVCHD .mov files in full HD
1920 x1080 format. These need to be transcoded to work with Final Cut Express. The
audio is for reference only, and is recorded at 48kHz. There is no mic input. For
consistency I recommend that we use the 60i (17M) setting "FH" . See "Image Size" in the
menu.
