  2. Video Camera White Balance White balance basically means colour balance. It is a function which gives the camera a reference to "true white" — it tells the camera what the colour white looks like, so the camera will record it correctly. Since white light is the sum of all other colours, the camera will then display all colours correctly. Incorrect white balance shows up as pictures with orange or blue tints, as demonstrated by the following examples: http://www.mediacollege.com/video/camera/white-balance/

  3. Automatic vs. Manual Focus • Automatic Focus- the camera uses sensors to pick a spot to focus on (usually an area of contrast) and that point will be in focus, image usually blurs out from that point of focus. • Manual Focus- You select the area you want to be in focus.

  4. When to use Manual Focus • When doing Macro work- These shots have a narrow depth of field which means that you need to be precise with focusing. Being even slightly out of focus or having your camera choose the wrong area to focus on can completely ruin the shot. When using manual it is a good idea to use a tripod to eliminate movement. • http://digital-photography-school.com/5-situations-when-manual-focus-is-better-than-auto-focus

  5. When shooting in low light- Camera lens often struggles to take a shot in dim light, which can be extremely frustrating when trying to take a candid shot. Switch to manual mode and you can quickly find your focusing point and get the shot you’re after.

  6. When doing portrait shots- majority of your shots of people will need to have their eyes in perfect focus however, sometimes you may want another part of the face to be in focus, while everything else is out of focus.

  7. Shooting through glass or fences- Camera will often get confused and not know what to focus on. By switching to manual you can have precise focus for your shot without noticing the window/fence.

  8. Action photography- When shooting fast moving objects, your camera may have trouble focusing on an object. One way to overcome this is to switch to manual focusing and pre focus on a point that the subject will move through – and shooting at that point. You need to get your timing just right – but you’ll find that it’ll often give better results than relying upon auto focus modes (particularly if you shoot in continuous shooting/burst mode).
