Canon XH A1 Video Camera : Aperture Priority Mode - 0 views
-
Nicolas Weiss on 06 Mar 14Aperture priority mode allows you to change the aperture (iris) of the camera, but everything else is auto adjusted for you. Use this mode if you're shooting for the shot that focuses on the subject and blurs out the background. Open up the aperture all the way (lowest number), zoom in as far as possible (helps enhance the look), and the background will automatically drop out off focus. If it's too dark (like if you're indoors), you might have to add some light to the shot so that the shutter speed doesn't automatically drop super low. If shutter speed drops too low, the shots will all of a sudden become choppy and the person's movement will look like a robot.
