Stabilizing Your Picture
Try these tips to improve the image:
– Look for a place to sit down and take your video.
– Look for something you can set your camera on.
– Consider using a tripod or a monopod to further steady your video.

The most enjoyable and professional looking videos generally have very little camera
movement

As a general rule, your video will look better if you zoom the lens before you start your
recording:
Shooting Distance During 3D

optimal zone. – Keeping the range of contrast in your scene to a reasonable level is the easiest way to
improve the picture quality.

exposed.

reduce contrast to a reasonable range.
Length of Recording
