RCA cc4291 User Guide

• Try to make sure indoor scenes are

well-lit.  This improves picture quality
and color reproduction.

• Do not move the camcorder rapidly

from side-to-side while recording.
A steady, gradual “pan” avoids
blurring and “jitter.”

• Use the viewfinder to make sure the

camcorder is level while recording so
that your scenes won’t appear “tilted.”

• Do not bump or tap the camcorder’s

microphone while recording so that
your scenes won’t appear tilted.

• Include close-ups of individuals when

taping family outings or group func-
tions.

• Fading in and out of scenes makes

your videos appear more professional.

• Learn to use the special digital effects

available with your camcorder to add
variety to your recordings.

• Be aware of video and audio back-

grounds.  Background details barely
noticed while you are taping may show
up as visual “clutter” on your record-
ing.  Background noises (especially
TV sets, radios, household appliances,
traffic sounds, etc.) can detract from
the sound you want to record.

• Avoid long “still” shots of landmarks

and scenic attractions.  Recordings are
more interesting if they include people
and details.  “Local color” will give
travel videos lasting appeal.  Consider
recording a familiar or landmark scene
from an unfamiliar vantage point.
