P2 Camera Assessment

Camera Assessment
  

In terms of setting up a camera, you first have to structure the tripod to put the camera on. This includes elongating the legs and tightening the legs of the tripod to ensure that they are stable, and loosening the leg chain of the tripod which is later used to control the camera. After applying that leg chain out of range with the legs of the tripod, it is tightened. Then, the camera is applied to the tripod through attaching a specific piece of metal to the camera, and tightening it. The camera is then slotted on the stand of the tripod and tightened with the handles on the side of the tripod. The camera is then turned on, ensuring that a battery and SD card are inserted. The white balance and the exposure are then adjusted: this is to ensure that the contrast of the shot is not washed out and is in the best possible lighting. The camera is then focused on the image so that the image is of good quality and is clear. After this has been done, the audio is regulated. The mic is attached to the camera and is inserted into input1 with a small cable- and all the audio settings are set to manual. In order to test that sound is being emitted from the mic, headphones are inserted and noise is made and you check the sound levels on the camera screen. Next, a more complex incorporation of sound is done in order to gather a larger outreach. This is through attaching sound to a large pole and using a long cable to connect it to the camera. The previous mic which was on the camera is loosened and is then applied to the longer pole, which is first elongated and tightened. A long wire is plugged into the end of the mic and the wire is partially veiled in a small hole. The remaining wire is wrapped around the elongated mic and secured. The end of the cable is attached to input1 provided that the smaller cable is removed from the previous sound test. The same procedure of testing the sound is done as last time, and the waves of sound should appear on the screen of the camera. After this is all done, the camera is then to be put away. The headphones, SD card and the long cable are removed first, and the camera is closed. and turned off.

To put the camera away, this is by detaching the camera from the tripod by loosing the handles and pressing a release button that is orange. The metal that was used with the camera to attach it to the tripod is loosened as well. The tripod is then packed down and the legs are tucked in. Then they are placed in the appropriate receptacle. The sound cable is put away, and the mic is removed from the pole as well as the top handle that attaches it. The pole is then shortened and put aside.
