Video Filming Tips
Tip #1
How do I make a room brighter and eliminate dark spots at windows? Turn the camera on then prior to recording click the “menu” button. Now use the center toggle button to scroll down to “Exposure” then click the toggle button down to select. Then toggle over to +1 for exposure, and click the toggle down one more time to set the +1. Then just click the menu button and you are ready to record.
NOTE: You must set Exposure to +1 each time you turn the camera on and prior to hitting the record button.
Any questions just call us at 517-896-4376
Tip #2
Remember….a video tour is a series of nice smooth steady pans with slow steady walks between rooms. When walking point the camera straight forward and head directly for the next room of your tour. See our samples.
Tip #3
Film the entire tour as a single file. Turn the camera on ‘record’ then don’t turn it off till your tour is finished. Feel free to “pan” a room 2 or 3 times from different angles to get the best lighted steady shot. Our video editors will use the best footage of each room to assemble your final tour.
Tip #4
If a room you are filming appears to dark or jumpy simply go to another point in the room and do another steady pan of the room. Our video editors will pick out the best pan of the room and use it in your finished video tour.

Tip #6
When filming a room with a bright window film the room with the bright window behind you. The window can effectively light the room but if you point the camera directly at that window you can expect a “dark” effect in your finished property video.
