Some important notes acquired from practicing / when facing troubles with the camera:
- Adjust the yellow knot of the tripod to put the camera plate in.
- Adjust focus: turning the front lens (to create DOF et cetera)
- Adjust zoom: turning the lens with silver handle
** Eye is always the best part to adjust zoom and adjust focus. I tried adjusting focus when zooming into the subject's white shirt, but it was hard to determine if the image is sharp.
**Always readjust focus everytime the subject moves.
- Always adjust black balance before white balance.
- Exposure and zebras: Occurrence of a little bit of zebra is when the exposure is correct (depending on situations) **Zebra on off button is on the side of the zebra signal light.
- Always check the power of battery the day before camera usage.
- Adjust viewfinder to match your eyes and position
- Always use mixer and external microphone instead of the internal ones to get good level of sound.
