![Page 20: Sollywood production house](https://reader034.vdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022051323/54919afdb47959763e8b5415/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
Focus
You can either set the camera to auto focus (top), manual focus (middle) or infinity focus (bottom).
In manual focus, rotate the ring closest to the lens to focus.
![Page 21: Sollywood production house](https://reader034.vdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022051323/54919afdb47959763e8b5415/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
Iris/Aperture The depth of field is the in-focus range, measured from the distance behind
a subject to the distance in front. Depth of field varies depending on the iris setting. A large iris (low F-stop value) will reduce your depth of field.
A small iris (high F-stop value) will increase your depth of field.
Small iris (low F-stop value) Large iris (high F-stop value)
![Page 22: Sollywood production house](https://reader034.vdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022051323/54919afdb47959763e8b5415/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
Iris/Aperture
You can adjust the iris by pushing the “Iris” button located just in front of the LCD. Once you do this, you Should see “F” and a number such as “2.8” appear on your LCD screen.
Adjust the iris size using The wheel located in front of the iris button.
To manually adjust the iris, make sure that the lock slider on the back of the camera is
switched to the middle position.
![Page 23: Sollywood production house](https://reader034.vdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022051323/54919afdb47959763e8b5415/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
Iris/Aperture The larger the iris (high F-stop value), the more light will be let into the camera.
The smaller the iris (low F-stop value), the less light will be let in.
A still camera would normally compensate for this by adjusting the shutter speed automatically. if you’re manually adjusting the iris, the camcorders do not automatically compensate for this. You can use a neutral density filter or adjust the shutter speed to let in less light if the image
is too bright.
After pressing the “Shutter Speed” button, use the scrolling wheel on the back of the camera to adjust the shutter speed.
![Page 24: Sollywood production house](https://reader034.vdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022051323/54919afdb47959763e8b5415/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
Gain
The gain button acts like a volume control for the video signal. Gain increases the voltage level of the video signal, causing the image to look brighter. More gain means more noise, so use gain with caution. You can adjust the gain by pushing the gain button and using the scrolling wheel on the back of the camera. Gain will show up on Your LCD as a number followed by “dB.”
![Page 25: Sollywood production house](https://reader034.vdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022051323/54919afdb47959763e8b5415/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
Neutral Density Filters
![Page 26: Sollywood production house](https://reader034.vdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022051323/54919afdb47959763e8b5415/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
White balancing your camera before every shoot is very important. If you don’t white balance the camera, your footage may look blue, green, or yellow, depending on the type of lighting that you’re shooting in. To set the white balance, like adjusting the iris manually, make sure that the lock slider on the back of the camera is set to the middle position. Zoom in on something white (a piece of paper, a projector screen, etc.) and press on the “WHT BAL” button for a couple of seconds. Voilaa! Your camera is white balanced! This is called one step white balancing. If you’re shooting in specific lighting, such as incandescent, florescent, or sun, you can also use white balance presets by pushing the white balance button and using the scroll wheel on the back of the camera to scroll through the three presets. For mixed light conditions (sun and incandescent, etc.) one step white balancing is best.
NOTE – If you move to another location, always remember to re-white balance the camera!
White Balance
![Page 27: Sollywood production house](https://reader034.vdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022051323/54919afdb47959763e8b5415/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
Buttons in the LCD Area The most commonly used features in the LCD area are the menu button and the zebra switch.
There are many settings that can be changed on the camera by going into the menu. To do this, press the menu button and scroll through the options using the same scrolling wheel on the Back of the camera that we used for Adjusting the gain and the white Balance presets. You can push down on the scrolling wheel to select an option from the menu.
The zebra switch shows you where parts of the image are overexposed. If you’re seeing a lot of “zebra”, you may need to adjust your iris or use a neutral density filter to reduce the amount of light entering the camera. Some zebra is ok, but too much means you might lose some detail on your subject. Note – The zebra lines will not record on your footage!
![Page 28: Sollywood production house](https://reader034.vdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022051323/54919afdb47959763e8b5415/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)
Rule of Thirds Imagine a grid on your screen that looks like a tic-tac-toe board.
Shots look best if the subject is placed at the intersection of any two of the lines on the grid.
Note: Sometimes rules are meant to be broken.

Shot Composition Head room
Lead room
Be sure to leave a bit of space on the edges of your shot. Some TV screens may cut off some of the edges. You wouldn’t want someone’s head to get cut off!

7 Deadly Camcorder Sins
-Headhunting - placing every subject in the center of your frame.
-Motorzooming - overuse of on-screen zooms.
-Rooting - staying in one spot instead of looking for interesting angles.
-Firehosing - panning all over the scene.
-Upstanding - shooting everything from standing eye-level.
-Snapshooting - taping only two or three seconds per shot.
-Backlighting - too much light falling on the background instead of on the subject.

Microphones All of the Sony cameras come with an onboard shotgun mic.
![Page 34: Sollywood production house](https://reader034.vdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022051323/54919afdb47959763e8b5415/html5/thumbnails/34.jpg)
Microphones We also have stereo mics available. You can take out floor stands, table stands or boom poles for use with these mics. The one below is shown with a vibration reduction clip.
![Page 35: Sollywood production house](https://reader034.vdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022051323/54919afdb47959763e8b5415/html5/thumbnails/35.jpg)
Microphones Lavaliere (Lav) mics clip on to the subject’s shirt. We have two types.
The one shown below is a hardwired lavaliere.
![Page 36: Sollywood production house](https://reader034.vdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022051323/54919afdb47959763e8b5415/html5/thumbnails/36.jpg)
Microphones The other type of lavaliere is the wireless lav. This comes with a transmitter, a receiver and
9V batteries.
![Page 37: Sollywood production house](https://reader034.vdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022051323/54919afdb47959763e8b5415/html5/thumbnails/37.jpg)
Microphones Lavalieres simply clip onto the shirt, like the one in the photo below.
![Page 38: Sollywood production house](https://reader034.vdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022051323/54919afdb47959763e8b5415/html5/thumbnails/38.jpg)
Microphone Setup
All of the microphones connect to the camera using a male-female XLR cable. The female end of the cable plugs into the mic and the male end plugs into one of the two inputs located on the side of the camera handle.
![Page 39: Sollywood production house](https://reader034.vdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022051323/54919afdb47959763e8b5415/html5/thumbnails/39.jpg)
Microphone Setup
When using only one mic, plug the mic into Input 1 and make sure that the channel select Switch is set to “CH1-CH2.”
When using a 2 mic setup, make sure the Channel select switch is set to “CH1.”

Headphones To plug in headphones, lift the small flap on the side of the camera that the tape deck
Is located on. They plug into the green input on the top.
![Page 41: Sollywood production house](https://reader034.vdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022051323/54919afdb47959763e8b5415/html5/thumbnails/41.jpg)
Adjusting Audio Levels
To adjust the audio levels, press the “Audio Level” button on the back of the camera. A meter will appear on your LCD. To adjust the level, use the scrolling wheel that we used for gain, white balance, etc. You can change which channel is selected by pressing the scrolling wheel in. Generally, a level between -20 and -12 should be the right volume. Always make sure to look at the levels meter and not just go off of what you’re hearing in the headphones!
![Page 42: Sollywood production house](https://reader034.vdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022051323/54919afdb47959763e8b5415/html5/thumbnails/42.jpg)
Camera Manuals Are Available!
We have camera manuals available, so if you’re interested in going more in depth with the camera, make sure to ask for a manual when you check out the equipment.
![Page 43: Sollywood production house](https://reader034.vdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022051323/54919afdb47959763e8b5415/html5/thumbnails/43.jpg)
A Few Reminders
• Make sure to check the camera to see if it is set for manual or automatic focus before you start filming.
• White balance any time you start filming in a new location!
• Keep an eye on your audio levels. Between -20 and -12 should be good.
