Health and Safety tutorial

During our health and safety tutorial with Mickey I learnt a number of things regarding how to operate the camera and use it correctly without causing any damage to it. I learnt how to use the memory card, how to set up a tripod and how to safely make sure the camera is stable whilst on the tripod. Mickey showed us how to adjust the focus of the camera when the shot is zoomed in or out so that the quality still comes out clear; I found this very helpful as I am sure myself and my group will be using this in our thriller opening and the end result will be brilliant and now the group knows how to use the camera responsibly.

To ensure you have set up your tripod correctly you have to make sure that all legs have being extended to their full length and have being put into position and locked by the three little screws on the side; this makes the tripod stand straight and stably otherwise you might find your camera could be comprised and fall off.  

  It is vital that when using the memory card it does not become damaged or scratched as this may make the memory card unaccessible when inserted into the camera. Also, you need to make sure that you put your memory card into the correct slot otherwise the camera will have trouble reading the memory card; thus you won't be able to do any recording.
