Chapter 5. Controlling Exposure and Focus

A digital video camera has many settings that affect the appearance of the footage it records. The camera automatically controls many of these settings as it adjusts to the amount of light in a scene and for the distance between the subject and camera. Some video cameras give you more control over the image by enabling you to make manual adjustments to settings such as shutter speed and aperture value. By using a combination of automatic and manual adjustments, and with an understanding of the basic elements of videography, you can produce high-quality digital video.
