Bottom line - Camcorders are designed for video, far less labor intensive to use, and are typically far more self contained than the typical DSLR. DSLR video does offer the advantages of incredible DOF but that is often at the expense of easy and quick handling. Please contact us via e-mail if you have additional questions: AskBH@BandH.com
Great video, can't stress it enough. The info in this video is valuable and deserves praise.Could sit and listen to her for an hour or more. Educational to say the least. Great work.
Optical image stabilization (OIS) offers few downsides except for a slightly higher battery drain. I suggest turning off the feature when the camera is tripod mounted. Digital image stabilization may introduce "noise" in the outer borders of the video frame and is not as accurate as OIS.

Hey, I'm about half-way through the filming of my camcorder tutorial and I found this old video somewhat helpful. Just the other day, I used some low light noise, to enhance a tele-macro view of some bugs that were squirming and the eerie creepiness of the look, came out great. I haven't noticed many problems with the white noise yet, probably because the camera is so versatile and I'm normally shooting in bright sunlight, with the Auto-Focus always on. BTW - One big challenge for noobs, is learning to force the Auto-Focus, especially when filming up close or when changing and moving the subjects. Well, I hope that you guys are still making more of these instructional videos, because this one should be part 4 of 10 or more, don't you think so? Oh, please tell Mia that I'm love-struck, haha! Thanks
The thing I don't understand is the shutter speed. Like as in what setting to have it on. Like I have a Sony fdr ax43. I need an understanding of shutter speed and what it's for?
My Panasonic camcorder with 50x optical zoom can no longer control exposure settings and all my scenes with both still pictures and videos come out 'bleached'. I have tried resetting everything to factory settings and the problem persists. Even with manual settings it is difficult to stop this happening in high light conditions (sunny). What has gone wrong with my camera? I did once point it at a setting sun but I doubt that could have 'burnt out' the sensor. Or perhaps that is the cause.

Hilarious. I have had my camera for years (bought Canon Vixia HFM40 from B&H) and have been wanting to replace it because the quality was so bad. Nope. User error. I had no idea about the exposure option!! Great video. Thank you!! :-)
Yes, but be sure to test it out. Zebras could indicate just the right amount of exposure as well as over exposed. How can you tell which is which? By the way the line is going ///// or \\\\\. You'll just have to play with it and maybe find the manual.

If you run into any problems using this product, follow the steps below: 1. Check the items under “Troubleshooting,” and inspect this product. 2. Disconnect the power source, attach the power source again after about 1 minute, and turn this product on. 3. Perform [Initialize]. If you select [Initialize], all settings, including the clock setting, are reset. 4. Contact your Sony dealer or local authorized Sony service facility. Also, change the memory card and make sure there is adequate light for a less grainy/noisy result. The Intelligent Auto setting should be ideal for most shooting situations. >Mark
Interesting information, it would have been perfect if you guys would make more precise information on each models though. Since i got a HF R40 i can basically relate to infos on the HF M500 which i really want to learn how to use. Thanks.

Hi I have a Canon Vixia HF R300, and I saw tests of this camera and their videos are really HD. My videos look pretty terrible. Please tell me how to make my videos look good. Thanks!
Your camera most resembles the Canon HFM50 Mia highlights in the video. See page 168 of the owner's manual 1. Manually set the white balance to suit the conditions. 2. Control the light by using the different exposure settings. 3. Control the shuter speed. 4. Use reflectors or other light sources to add light. 5. Use the IS setting on the camera for a stable image 6. Use a tripod or other dolid, stable support 7. Make sure the lens is free of dust.

Question: As a photographer, I learned that when shooting video on my DSLR, the shutter speed should be set at "twice" the fps - (ie , if shooting at 30fps, you set the shutter to 1/60, at 24fps set shutter to 1/50 etc). Does this still apply to a camcorder, or is the fact that it's built for video mean you dont' have to remain locked to that ratio? I have a Panasonic HCV800. Also - something seems odd to me on this camcorder - the iris and shutter speeds appear to be doing the opposite to what I expect - when I open the iris, which should be allowing more light in, the video gets darker - is that because it's somehow automatically compensating for a low shutter speed? This is where my first question comes into play - if I want the wide aperture for shallow depth of field, but it's too bright, am I able to adjust the shutter beyond that "twice the fps" rule? (I am required to shoot at 30fps for our church as we often combine video from cell phones that cannot have their framerate adjusted and shoot at 30fps) Thanks for any insight! I'm really wanting to use the manual settings on this Panasonic as I find the auto settings flaky in a studio setting as it makes random adjustments that are rather annoying, but the manual settings don't seem to work like they do on my DSLR. Not that I expect it to have the same level of control, but...it certainly doesn't seem very intuitive to set manually, nor does it do what I expect a lot of the time. I haven't found the manual very helpful at all for detailed instructions.
You do not have to be locked to this "rule of thumb" ratio. Your particular camcorder may not offer full manual adjustment anyway. You may want to try a neutral density (ND) filter. Consumer grade camcorders are typically designed t work most easily at their auto settings. Often the manual settings are tedious or tricky to maintain. Please e-mail us if you have additional questions: askbh@bandh.com >Mark
The best setting for the widest range of activities and lighting conditions is "Intelligent Auto" which optimizes the camera settings to the recording environment you are in..

Hi there! Thank you for this great and informative video! Are there any lenses you can recommend for handycams? I am interested in a wide lens but haven't found any... I am using a Sony HDR SR12. Thank you so much :)
Hi, Great video. Just purchased the Canon Vixia HF G21 camcorder, a varizoom controller and a rode shotgun mic from B&H. I'm totally new to the camera world and I'm wanting to self film my deer hunts. Could you please tell me the right settings I need for the outdoors. I wished I could find a step by step video on this camcorder but I can't. Thanks in advance for any help.
The best thing to do is experiment with different settings. To test shoots where you try the various settings and see what works best. You could also start in a fully automatic mode and as you get more comfortable with the camera try the various manual settings. Thanks! -Joey P
I don't see why not. Since you have that camcorder already shoot some content with it, edit it and load it to RUclips to see the results. Panasonic camcorders are very nice in general, even the older models. Thanks! -Joey P
Hi Joseph, depending on the camera you are using, the settings vary. For smaller camcorders like this, you will have aperture or sometimes it's called iris control. At night you're going to need as much light going to the camera's sensor as possible. So, typically you would make your aperture or iris wider (the number is smaller f2.8, f2 etc) to let in more light at night. Sometimes, cameras like these will have gain control that will let you boost the image for low light shooting. But be careful, this can introduce noise or grain into your video image. If you are shooting with a DLSR or mirrorless camera, using a combination of wider apertures (depending on what lens you are using.) and boosting the ISO will do it. The trick is finding an image that has an acceptable exposure or look. Certain DLSR or mirrorless cameras have tools like waveforms or histograms to help with exposure.

hi i want to know what settings you use for recording at night like street lights and car lights thanks
Hi Joseph, depending on the camera you are using, the settings vary. For smaller camcorders like this, you will have aperture or sometimes it's called iris control. At night you're going to need as much light going to the camera's sensor as possible. So, typically you would make your aperture or iris wider (the number is smaller f2.8, f2 etc) to let in more light at night. Sometimes, cameras like these will have gain control that will let you boost the image for low light shooting. But be careful, this can introduce noise or grain into your video image.
If you are shooting with a DLSR or mirrorless camera, using a combination of wider apertures (depending on what lens you are using.) and boosting the ISO will do it. The trick is finding an image that has an acceptable exposure or look. Certain DLSR or mirrorless cameras have tools like waveforms or histograms to help with exposure.
hi there is no iso on my camcorder just iris control and shooting at night that happens

Hey I just bought a Samsung hmx-f90 and I'm not sure how to delete photos/videos
+mychemicalticcitobyatthedisco - See the owner's manual: bit.ly/1pbnxPT
You can erase your recordings one by one or all at once. • Press the [MODE] button to select the playback mode.• Select the video or photo thumbnail view. 1) Press the [MENU] button [Control(Left/Right)] button Delete. 2) Select an option by pressing the [Control (Up/Down)] button, and then press the [Control (OK)] button. 3) If you selected Select Files, image thumbnails appear. Use the [Control (Up/Down/Left/Right)] button to move to the photo or video you want to delete. Press the [Control (OK)] button to mark images for deletion. The garbage can icon appears on the photo or video. Repeat Steps and for each photo or video you want to delete. Press the [MENU] button to delete the photos and videos you selected. The message corresponding to the selected option appears. Use the [Control (Left/Right)] button to select Yes, and then press the [Control (OK)] button. 4) If you selected All Files, the message corresponding to the selected option appears. Use the [Control (Left/Right)] button to select Yes, and then press the [Control (OK)] button. • Deleted images cannot be recovered.
• Do not remove the power adaptor or memory card while deleting files, otherwise the storage media may be damaged. • You can also delete your recordings in single view.• To protect important images from accidental deletion, activate image protection. • Protected images cannot be deleted. To delete a protected image, cancel the protect function first. • If the write protection tab on a memory card is set to lock, you cannot
delete. • You can also format the storage media to delete all the images at once. Be aware that all files and data including protected files will be
erased. • The Delete function does not operate if the battery charge is insufficient. We recommend you use the power adapter to avoid power-loss while deleting.
