When shooting outdoors (natural lighting)
Select camera position as though carrying the sun on your
back.
In this way, the sun shines on the object evenly.
For a scene in which there is excessive light, such as a beach
or a snow scene on a bright day. the scene wil! appear too
white. An ND filter should be used to reduce the amount of
light. The ND-4 filter will usually perform satisfactorily in most
circumstances (filter size 49 mm).
When shooting indoors (artificial lighting)
Pictures may be shot using only fluorescent lamps, but more
distinct pictures are obtained if additional lights are used.
Directing the lights
For one light :
The light should be directed diagonally from the front. With
a single light, the contrast will always be strong. Use another
light if you want to get rid of the shadows
For two lights :
Direct one light diagonally from the front, and position the
other light at the side of the subject. to eliminate any shadows.
Types of lights
Flat reflector light
The light will be spread over a wide area. This is an
easy-to-use, convenient type of light for the beginner.
Spotlight reflector light
This type of light can be used to emphasize a certain
point, and to create special lighting effects.
Note :
€ Do not place this unit near a light or where it will be
directly struck by the light. The heat from the light might
damage the camcorder's case.
