Keep these tips in mind for recording the best possible video clips:
- Set the camera for the right light setting
- If possible, place the camera on a solid surface to reduce movement
- Try not to record directly into a light source
- Treat your filming similar to a photograph: keep main subject centered, watch what’s in the periphery and remember you can edit the clip to show the best part of what you filmed.
