This camera doesn’t feature
any headphone inputs.
The camera can be
switched to manual
using this dial.
The view finder lets
the user see what
they are recording
whilst filming it.
The LCD screen is where many
of the camera’s settings are
found. It also functions as a
secondary view finder.
When pressed, the record button will
start recording but the camera must
be set to video mode first.
3. The camera has a
microphone port on the side
for recording sound.
The zoom is controlled by the
dial on the lenses.
Changing the white balance sets
the camera to capture the correct
light in different environments. It’s
important in ensuring the colours
are correct. There are a number of
preset options alongside the manual
setting.
4. The camera can be switched to manual
focus from the switch on the side then
controlled from the dial at the front.
The exposure is the amount of light
that the camera is exposed to. This
can make the footage either too dark
or too light depending if the exposure
isn’t done correctly.
ISO is accessed here and controls
how grainy the footage could
appear.
5. The shutter speed controls how long the
shutter stays open for and by extension
the amount of light that comes through.
The memory card is accessed from the
side of the camera by pulling out and
opening the door covering it.
6. The camera has both an AV digital and a
HDMI output. This allows the data on the
camera to be moved onto other devices.
