Filming a Video Segment (Camcorder)

Select Camcorder from the main menu screen (use the joystick to

select, then click on ENTER !)

Look either through the viewfinder or at the AV300 screen and aim the

camera at the subject to be filmed.

Press the shutter button all the way down (or the START ! button ) to

start the recording. A red circle

on the top right of the AV300 screen indicates you are

recording.

Press the shutter button all the way down again (or the STOP " button ) in order to stop the

recording. The camera will take a few seconds to store the MPEG4 video file to the hard disk of

the AV300. It will store the file in the folder HD/Video or the most recent folder you were in

when you pressed the function button Record.

If you would like to pause the video recording, press on the START ! button. You will

notice a pause symbol

appear. Press again on this button and the camera will recommence its

recording.

Understanding and setting the Camcorder parameters

while balance being used;

auto, tungsten,

fluorescent, daylight, or cloudy.

Camera Settings Menu

White Bal. (White Balance): Use the setting to change the color temperature of your photos. Set

it to the ambient light conditions in order to best reproduce the colors of the objects in the photo

(tungsten, fluorescent, daylight, or cloudy). Changing these settings will adjust the camera color

so that even with these different types of light sources, the picture colors will be as close as

possible to reality.

Source: The default audio source for a video segment is the built-in microphone. To get even

better sound for your videos, we encourage you to use an External microphone (such as the

stereo microphone available as option). Further, you can even use a line level audio source for

special recording situations.

Bitrate: The is analogous to the Image Quality setting in the camera mode. This setting

determines the level of compression of the recorded video file. Set to 2000kb/s for the highest

quality images (takes up more space on the hard drive), or to a lower setting to have smaller file

sizes (you may have a slightly reduced image quality on setting lower than 1500kb/s). The

default of 1500kb/s is fine for most situations.

Note: Long continuous recording times (2 hours and more) can create

files that are greater than 2GB each. The AV300 will create multiple files

in order to make long recordings. Thus a very long video recording may

produce files called VID0000, VID0001, and VID0002.

Rename: This lets the user specify the file name

of the next video segment.

Exposure: Use this setting to expose the image

more or less than normal. Values are in steps of

1/3 from –1 to +1. Setting it in the negatives, will

decrease the amount of picture exposure and make

your picture darker.

Setting it positive will

increase the exposure and make your pictures

brighter. If your subject has a bright background,

you may want to over expose your picture a little

bit so that the person's face is more visible. If you

are taking pictures where there is a lot of snow or

the sun's reflection on water, you may want to

reduce the exposure.
