Handling the Camera

It's so great that we finally get to learn about camera and lens!

Here's some vital things to confirm before starting to shoot:

- Tripod's balance
- Adjust Focus (Zoom in as far as you can and adjust focus, then zoom out)
- Check White / Black Balance
- Make sure 'gain' button is switched off
- Check exposure (using zebra patterning)
- Check shutter speed (should be at 1/50)
- ND Filter is turned off

(unless, of course, the film requires otherwise.)

*I find the color presented in the camera is a bit weird, even after the daylight setting. We will have to pay a bit more attention to the lighting.
