Tutorial on how to use the camera

On Thursday’s lesson we were taught on how to use these canon semi-pro cameras. Firstly we were told on how to position the battery correctly before sliding it on to the camera. We were also told on how to use the focus, zoom, playback, record button, and finally how to eject the DV tapes correctly. In this tutorial we was also shown how to use the camera props, for example for the tripod we were shown how to adjust the height of the legs and the angle of the camera. After all the main points mentioned we had to do it ourselves so that we are more confident around the camera. We were also told the do’s and don’ts of the use of camera.
