How to Operate a Camcorder

An excellent primer for people just starting in video, who need to cut through the confusion about equipment. Some offices and schools change camera operators on a yearly basis. This program is an outstanding teacher so that the classroom teacher can devote time to other areas. Areas covered are: what you need to know before you buy a camcorder, camcorder functions (what all the little buttons and knobs do and how to get the most from them), auto focus problems, lens adaptors, choosing the right kind of tape, battery secrets, choosing a tripod, trouble shooting (problems and solutions).
