Some basic shooting techniques

First, be sure to hold the camera steady when shooting. Stability is the foundation of all shooting. It is best to hold the camera with both hands, which is definitely more stable than one hand, or use something that can be supported by you or prepare a camera tripod. In any case, it is to minimize the shaking of the picture. It is the most taboo way and the most easy mistake to make while walking.

Second, beginners should fix the lens when shooting. To put it simply, after the lens is aimed at the target, they should shoot at a fixed point after setting the screen size, instead of zooming in and out or sweeping up, down, left and right, so as not to affect the stability of the screen. If it is impossible to take a panoramic picture of the scene and it is necessary to take a dynamic picture, you can scan the camera from right to left or from left to right, but you must pay attention to that the camera should stay in one place for at least 5 seconds, not for a moment to the left, for a moment to the right, and for a moment to the back and forth.

Third, the best way to keep the camera stable is to use a camcorder tripod, which can not only effectively prevent the machine from shaking, but also keep the picture clear and stable, without ghosting, and it also runs smoothly and naturally when translating up and down and left and right.

Four, the lens is divided into panorama (distant view), middle view, close view and close-up. The camera can zoom when shooting and change the size of the picture. For example, if you want to shoot a distant target, you can zoom in with a zoom lens and take a closer look. When you zoom in to the required image size, just press the video button to take the required image. When you want to reflect the specific characteristics of an object or a person, you can use close-ups. It can be achieved by using the zoom lens of the camera as needed when shooting.

Fifth, there are advanced shooting skills such as pushing, pulling, shaking, moving and following, which are also realized by using the zoom lens of the camera as needed. For example, panning is one of the most commonly used techniques in shooting. When the shot scene is too grand, if the whole picture cannot be shot completely with a wide-angle lens, then the "panning" shooting method should be used. However, it is difficult for beginners to master these skills well.
