Try to test filming in a couple of locations to learn how your camera reacts to light, sound and motion.

Location 1: Your room

Try filming with the lights on and then turn the lights off. Point the camera at your face and speak into it. Now put the camera across the room from you and speak into it again.

Location 2: Outdoors

Walk outside your house and start filming.  Film while walking, and then while trying to hold still. Try speaking into the camera on a nosiy street.

Watch Your Videos and Adjust Filming Style

Plug the camera into to your computer and watch the results. How does it look? How does it sound? What needs to be changed to make it better in terms of motion, sound and lighting?

Try it again and see if you can get it better. Soon you will be ready to use your camera to get the best footage possible.
