Our brains aren&#8217;t bothered by color temperatures, by digital cameras interpret them in a way that can impact colors significantly.<\/p>\n<p>White balance (WB) is the process of removing unrealistic colors, so that objects which appear white in person are rendered white in your photo.<\/p>\n<p>Digital cameras struggle to automatically identify light temperature, so it&#8217;s generally a good idea to choose the right preset, or <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=jBrR0ZS4P5g\">balance it manually<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Whenever you can, you should avoid mixing different types of lights.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-large wp-image-178\" src=\"http:\/\/mycours.es\/ems\/files\/2019\/01\/Screen-Shot-2019-01-19-at-4.12.14-PM-1024x731.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"840\" height=\"600\" srcset=\"http:\/\/mycours.es\/ems\/files\/2019\/01\/Screen-Shot-2019-01-19-at-4.12.14-PM-1024x731.png 1024w, http:\/\/mycours.es\/ems\/files\/2019\/01\/Screen-Shot-2019-01-19-at-4.12.14-PM-300x214.png 300w, http:\/\/mycours.es\/ems\/files\/2019\/01\/Screen-Shot-2019-01-19-at-4.12.14-PM-768x548.png 768w, http:\/\/mycours.es\/ems\/files\/2019\/01\/Screen-Shot-2019-01-19-at-4.12.14-PM-1200x857.png 1200w, http:\/\/mycours.es\/ems\/files\/2019\/01\/Screen-Shot-2019-01-19-at-4.12.14-PM.png 1798w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 709px) 85vw, (max-width: 909px) 67vw, (max-width: 1362px) 62vw, 840px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2>Know your cameras<\/h2>\n<p>The two main models available to EMS students: the\u00a0Canon EOS 77D (a DSLR) and the\u00a0Sony HXR-NX30 (a Camcorder).<\/p>\n<h2>Sony HXR-NX30<\/h2>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-156\" src=\"http:\/\/mycours.es\/ems\/files\/2019\/01\/05-04-20121333621281hxr-nx30e_11-1.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1020\" height=\"634\" srcset=\"http:\/\/mycours.es\/ems\/files\/2019\/01\/05-04-20121333621281hxr-nx30e_11-1.jpg 1020w, http:\/\/mycours.es\/ems\/files\/2019\/01\/05-04-20121333621281hxr-nx30e_11-1-300x186.jpg 300w, http:\/\/mycours.es\/ems\/files\/2019\/01\/05-04-20121333621281hxr-nx30e_11-1-768x477.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 709px) 85vw, (max-width: 909px) 67vw, (max-width: 1362px) 62vw, 840px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Digital camcorders descend from video cameras for TV broadcast and home movies (they originally shot on tape, hence the camera- recorder name).<br \/>\nSome students erroneously think that because they are smaller they are lower quality or less preferable than DSLR.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>Canon EOS 77D<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-large wp-image-153\" src=\"http:\/\/mycours.es\/ems\/files\/2019\/01\/highres-Canon-EOS-77D-3_1499331880-1024x885.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"840\" height=\"726\" srcset=\"http:\/\/mycours.es\/ems\/files\/2019\/01\/highres-Canon-EOS-77D-3_1499331880-1024x885.jpg 1024w, http:\/\/mycours.es\/ems\/files\/2019\/01\/highres-Canon-EOS-77D-3_1499331880-300x259.jpg 300w, http:\/\/mycours.es\/ems\/files\/2019\/01\/highres-Canon-EOS-77D-3_1499331880-768x664.jpg 768w, http:\/\/mycours.es\/ems\/files\/2019\/01\/highres-Canon-EOS-77D-3_1499331880-1200x1037.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 709px) 85vw, (max-width: 909px) 67vw, (max-width: 1362px) 62vw, 840px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>It&#8217;s a <strong>Digital Single Lens Reflex Camera DSLR<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-154\" src=\"http:\/\/mycours.es\/ems\/files\/2019\/01\/CNX_UPhysics_35_06_camera.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"863\" height=\"554\" srcset=\"http:\/\/mycours.es\/ems\/files\/2019\/01\/CNX_UPhysics_35_06_camera.jpg 863w, http:\/\/mycours.es\/ems\/files\/2019\/01\/CNX_UPhysics_35_06_camera-300x193.jpg 300w, http:\/\/mycours.es\/ems\/files\/2019\/01\/CNX_UPhysics_35_06_camera-768x493.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 709px) 85vw, (max-width: 909px) 67vw, (max-width: 1362px) 62vw, 840px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>A DSLR (digital SLR) camera is mainly designed for still photography.<br \/>\nA mirror reflects the image up to the viewfinder, and flips up \u2013 blacking out the eyepiece \u2013 when you take a photo. So when you shoot video with it, you have to use \u2018Live View\u2019 on the main screen instead.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Pros:<br \/>\n<\/strong>&gt; Compared to camcorders, DSLR tend to have\u00a0bigger sensors.\u00a0Big sensors can perform better in low light conditions .<br \/>\n&gt; Lens quality is typically better and lenses can be changed, the footage may appear crisper and more &#8220;cinematic&#8221;.<br \/>\n&gt; You can switch to still camera and shoot high quality pictures.<br \/>\n&gt; &#8220;Good&#8221;\u00a0DSLR are cheaper than &#8220;good&#8221; camcorders.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Cons:<\/strong><br \/>\n&gt; Bigger sensors and have a shallower depth of field. It means that under the same conditions (aperture) less of the shot is in focus which looks more &#8220;cinematic&#8221;, but it also makes harder to focus.<br \/>\n&gt; They tend to have a slower &#8220;live focus&#8221; autofocus.<br \/>\n&gt; The are not as ergonomic as the camcorders, they are more difficult to hold and stabilize.<br \/>\n&gt; They tend to overheat and shut down over time.<br \/>\n&gt; They usually have a shorted battery life.<br \/>\n&gt; They have terrible internal microphones and no sockets for good external microphones.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Conclusions<br \/>\n<\/strong>Always use the Sony if you can, especially when shooting dynamic situations and events.<br \/>\nYou should use the Canon only if you want to achieve a more cinematic look, and exclusively on a tripod and without camera movements.<\/p>\n<h2>Before shooting<\/h2>\n<p><strong>Batteries<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-179 aligncenter\" src=\"http:\/\/mycours.es\/ems\/files\/2019\/01\/batteries.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"287\" height=\"205\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Make sure your battery is charged and that you have extra ones if you are planning to shoot for a long time.<br \/>\nSome cameras have adapters that let them plug them on a wall outlet.
