ABSTRACT
Having your video camera in automatic mode is a quick and easy solution for beginners. But for more professional filming you need to know how to use manual mode. And, as with stills cameras, there is a halfway house on most camcorders, so you can set them to adjust to, and then act automatically in, a range of different conditions such as when filming sports,
landscapes, in snow, at night or where your subject is in a spotlight. Then there are fully automatic settings.
