Today in lesson we had a teacher who is experienced with dslr camera's come in to speak to our class to teach us how to set up the camera according to the lighting as the lighting is very important. We found out the basics of what to do when starting to record in order.
Firstly set the correct video settings, press menu on the first slide go to image quality and set it to a symbol which looks like a quarter pie and an L next to it.
Secondly flick across a couple slides to Movie Rec size and set to 1920x1080 25.
Thirdly on the side of the lens is a little switch, flick it to MF from AF. Focusing the lens whilst in AF can damage the lens.
Fourthly setting the camera to manual by rolling the wheel n the top of the camera which manual is indicated by the letter M.
After that we use the wheel (not the wheel above) by the shutter release to adjust shutter speeds. 50 is perfect for film.
Continuing from that we change the ISO settings by holding the button labeled ISO which ranges from 100 all the way to 1800 which sets the correct lighting for the camera depending on the lighting of the natural surroundings.
Lastly is the aperture. Holding the button labeled AV and use the scroll wheel to adjust the aperture.
