Night Vision

[Twister II]

^ I'll make it a little easier for people to download. (click the link below)

 

The video overall was fun, but I'd say that you need to work on holding the camera still. It also could be that it looks like the video was compressed at around 15FPS (frames per second). Normal video is 30FPS (or like 29.77 or something....) and that could be adding to the jerkiness of it.

 

But overall, it was a fun day! I'm glad we ran into you guys!

The SFEG video that you watched, here are the specs:

 

File Type: Windows Movie Maker

Bit Rate: 481 Kbps

Display Size: 320 x 240 pixles

Aspect Ratio: 4:3

Frames per Second: 30

 

that, and how would I hold the camera so it wont shake as much? I know you use a special lens on yours, dose that do anything?

 

And from those specs, how do I make my video better? What are mine compared to your videos?

How do you get "night vision" on camera? Where it could be pitch black but you can record, and see everythting.

 

For example in the Europa Park video, when Joey is dancing on Euro-Mir.

^ A wide angle lens will help a LOT! I use a x0.6 wide angle. The manufacturer of your camera should have something similar. I highly reccomend it!

^Do you use a wide angle lens all the time or do you just use it when you take POV's?

[robbalvey]

^ I use it all the time.

so does the lense float in liquid to reduce shakness? Also, how do you put a lense on the camera?

[Martyn]

It screws on.

 

The lens isn't stabilised at all, it just effectively makes you zoom out even further. Imagine how much more camera shake you get when you zoom in, and how much less there is when you zoom back out, well the wide angle lens helps you display more in the shot and reduces the visible shake. The amount of shake is still the same, but you're zoomed further out so it's not as noticable.

well do I take my old lense out?

 

I tried but i am afraid i will break the camera

its a feature that is on most sony models

 

whats the model number on your camera

[Twister II]

I have a Panasonic GS-PV19

Again it screws onto the camera, just like telephoto lenses, filters, etc.

[benzo41190]

it doesnt unskrew, do i need to take part of the camera apart

[What Now]

Maybe you got the wrong size lens?

[coaster1]

No the lense has threads on it .. you add attachments like wide angle, telephoto, filters onto the existing lense. They screw on and off as needed.

 

Most attachements will also have threads to add more attachments on. My UV filter has threads so I can attach my wide angle and telephoto.

When adding the wide angle, you do not UNscrew anything. You simply screw the wide angle lens ONTO the regular camera lens. Just screw it into the threads. The wide angle should have come with some illustrated instructions.

 

 

And Night Mode is typically a feature on the camera, usually enabled by flicking a switch on the camera itself (literally, it's a physical button or whatnot).

Sorry dude, your camera dosen't have any night shooting thingy. If you want to upgrade, I reccoment the Sony Handycams, and look to see if they have Nightshoot, Super Nightshoot, or Super Nightshoot Plus.

Here's a suggestion: RTFM!!! That's right.. READ. THE. [EXPLETIVE]. MANUAL!!! The manual should have some instructions there about lens threads for teleconverters and wide angle lens adapters.

[benzo41190]

OK, I broke my camera and I need to wait until it gets fixed. I ordered a Wide Angle lense for like $46.00 and I should get it soon.

[CoasterFanatic]

Next time ....

Ease up on the poor kid. He's only one.

When you get your camera back from the shop, do this:

 

First, remove the battery if it is attached. Give the terminals on the battery a good lick and put it aside. Best results can be acheived when more than one terminal is licked simutaneously. Locate all the visible screws on the camera body and remove them. Then pick up the camera by the palm strap and give it a good, firm shake. Your camcorder should now be fully prepped to accept a wide angle lens.

 

Your camcorder's manuals should have details explaning about the procedure.

 

 

(Yeah, yeah, I know.. I should stop watching the Red Green show too much...)
