Lens Flare
Plan your shotsMake sure lens is cleanUse hand as lens hood
Auto focus
Video sharp from roughly 1 meter to infinity
With additional wide angle lens you can use shorter distances
Extreme Close-ups achievable with close-up lens
Auto Exposure
AE adjusted according to relatively small spot located center of the image
Place bright areas center frame when ever possible
People see blown out whites but don´t mind black
Auto Exposure
Scenes with very high dynamic range can be evened out with
external lights or careful planning.
If high contrast scenes can´t be avoided measure exposure from the brightest part of the scene!
Auto White Balance
AWB designed to correct color errors caused by different lighting conditions.
Designed not to be perfect. Candle light should be warm, snow gold.
For desired effect manual AWB can be used. Cloudy pre-setting on sunny day gives warm tones.
Several light sources in one scene may cause problems.
Low light performance
For best possible results,
Cheat.
Normal mode 25fps, low light 15fps, night 5 fps.
Zoom
3 times digital zoom available.
No loss in sharpness!
For best results go with either 2x or 3x zoom.
Zoom above the “i” in Nokia!
Handshake
Handshake rarely looks good Unless it´s
intentional
When using steady cams or tripods turn off the video stabilization
Avoid very fast panning in your takesIt might distort vertical
lines

Recording level control in harsh environments like rock
concerts.
