Turning the camera on

The camera can take power from either a wall outlet or a battery. The battery should be obvious so I will

only describe the wall outlet option. Pgs. 12-16 in the manual

1. Remove the battery charger, DC Power Cable (charger to Camera), and AC Power Cable (Wall to

Charger) from the bag.

2. Connect the power cord to the wall outlet

3. Connect the DC coupler cord to the AC Adapter/Charger

4. Set the mode switch of the AC Adapter/Charger to VCR/CAMERA.

5. Attach the DC coupler to the Cameras battery slot.

6. Turn on the Camera. Rotate the On/Off switch from off to on.

Setting up the Memory Cards

The camera will record onto SD media cards with a Class 6 or higher rating. The station supplies a single

16GB Class 10 SD card for your use. Be sure to format or erase all data on the cards you intend to use

prior to shooting as the camera cannot erase the cards during recording. Pgs. 19, 24-26 in the Manual.

1. Insert your media card into the camera card slots located next to the battery.

a. The protective cover opens from right to left.

b. The angled corner on the SD card faces down.

2. With the camera turned on, press MODE.

3. Press MODE again and choose MANAGE MEDIA.

4. Select MEDIA FORMAT and then the card you wish to format.

5. Confirm twice and the selected media will be formatted.

In this step you will be changing the record settings. This includes switching between SD/HD and

changing the recording quality.

2. Press MEN and navigate to REC/O T SET and then REC SET.

a. Choose the HD/SD mode that works for you

b. The left column determines what will be recorded on the SD cards and the right column

determines what will be recorded on the external hard drive (not included).

3. Selection of an option returns you to the previous screen.

4. Next open REC FORMAT.

a. The left column is HD and the right column is SD.

b. Only one column will be available. Which one depends on your choice in step 2.

c. FX,FH,HQ,LP are quality settings. FX has the best recording quality and LP has the

longest runtime.

d. I recommend shooting in 1080/30p FX or 720/60p FX.

5. After making your selection, accept the change and press MEN to exit.

6. You are ready to record.

djusting for the shot

d. sing the shutter to boost or reduce light also works

i. Be aware that the SH TTER controls motion blur.

4. White Balance the Camera

b. Zoom in as close as you can to the card and adjust the white balance appropriately.

c. Refer to the camera manual for details on how to white balance.

5. Your video should now be ready to record.

Don’t forget the udio

Audio is an all too often overlooked aspect of video production. I will describe the process of routing and

balancing your audio levels in the camera.

1. Plug your microphone into INP T 1 and/or INP T 2.

2. sing the Input type panel located behind the XLR inputs, designate the appropriate mic type

for each input.

a. Line for audio from devices, mic for dynamic microphones and mic+48V for

microphones that require phantom power

3. Now look at the audio panel on the left side of the camera.

a. This panel affects the recorded audio channels

4. The left two switches are channel inputs.

a. You are recording two audio channels at any point in time, these switches determine

from where each channel receives its audio.

b. Channel 1 can receive audio from either XLR Input 1 or the internal mic.

c. Channel 2 can receive its audio from XLR Input 1, XLR Input 2, or the internal mic.

5. The two switches in the middle change the gain controls from A TO to MAN AL.

a. Auto Gain Control or AGC is fairly accurate but cannot differentiate between

background and foreground noise and will adjust itself.

b. Manual mode will get the best results if you monitor and adjust the gain as needed.

You are now ready to record your interview

One of the great things about these cameras is the ease of reviewing the footage you just shot. Take

your time with the setup and check your results and be sure to have fun.
