Health and Safety - Camera Tutorial
  • two SD cards (A&B) which correspond to the card slots A&B on the camera
  • battery slides in to the left and clicks / press button to release the battery
  • built in microphone but an external microphone is recommended to film dialogue
  • press in the blue button on the silver dial and rotate to turn it on
  • you cannot tape over footage
  • to open the lense there is a slider on the left side of the camera near the lense which reads 'open' and 'close'
  • for an extreme close up use the  manual focus by selecting 'MF' then selecting 'Focus' on the slider and press 'user 1' to use focus assist
  • to bring up footage press the 'cam/media' button 
  • DO NOT change the menu settings on the camera otherwise the files may not be compatible with final cut pro on the macs and this means you will have to re-film
  • NEVER take it out in heavy rain, if it is drizzling get an umbrella for the camera from the technicians
  • if the camera gets broken it is seen as the whole groups responsibility to pay for it
