A guide of how to use the camera

In this lesson in which we had Andrew as our teacher; micky (the technician) came in our class room to give us a demonstration of how to use a camera and the sort of things that we should avoid doing when filming.

For Example:
  • we were told to avoid getting the camera wet as it could damage the camera and our filming.
  • We were also told how to open the camera and also how to insert and eject the cassette.
  • Another good advice that we were told was that when zooming in, we should always focus the lense in order to get a good zoom.
  • we were told how to make attach the camera oto the tripod and we were also told a good way of checking if the tripod was safely attached to the tripod. If we were able to lift the camera by holding the handle at the top whils it is on the tripod then we wpuld know that it was securely attached.

These tips were very helpful especially for those such as myself that wasn't good at doing things without a manual.
