Composition

The most important element in the scene does not have to be in the center. For a more interesting picture, try to position your subject so it is slightly to one side. Leave some space on the side of the frame that the subject is facing or moving towards. Dont cut off the top of the subjects head, and dont cut people off at the neck, hips or knees (move a little bit above or below).
Watch out for distracting objects in the background.

Picture angle

Instead of zooming while recording, try to choose your picture angle before you begin. A good way to tell a story with video is to begin with a long shot that establishes the situation, and then move in with medium shots and close-ups to show the details. Remember to change your viewpoint for each shot. Remember that any camera movement or change in picture angle should have a definite purpose. Avoid unnecessary or half-hearted movements.

Long shot

Medium shot

Close-up

Camera moves
Use pans to record a landscape or follow a moving subject. Decide the area you want to cover and stand facing the end of your panning angle. Without moving your feet, turn your waist to the starting position. Start recording, and after a few seconds begin to turn slowly from the waist. Hold the final image for a few seconds before you stop recording. Tilt the camera up to exaggerate the height of the subject. Tilt down from the top of a building, for example, as an introduction to subjects at the bottom.
Turning the Optical Image Stabilizer Off
With most camcorders, even the slightest hand movements will be noticeable during telephoto recording. However, the ELURAs Optical Image Stabilizer allows you to obtain steady recordings even at 12 or 48 magnification. Unlike electronic image stabilizers, it causes no loss of picture quality. The Optical Image Stabilizer can compensate for a wide range of camera movement you can record stable images even if you are shooting from a moving car.

IMAGE S.

1. To turn the Optical Image Stabilizer off, open the camera menu and point the arrow at IMAGE S. i. 2. Select the OFF setting and close the menu.

The i mark disappears from the display when the stabilizer is off. The image stabilizer cannot be turned off when the program selector is set to the [ (Easy Recording) position. Notes: The image stabilizer is designed to deal with a normal degree of camera shake. Keep the image stabilizer turned off when the camera is mounted on a tripod. The image stabilizer is not as effective as usual when the tele-converter (optional) is attached.

Selecting from the Menus

Many of the cameras advanced functions are selected from menus which appear in the display. There are four main menus:
1. Camera menu (when the camera is in record pause mode: the POWER switch set to MOVIE, P. SCAN or PHOTO) 2. VCR menu (when the camera is in VCR mode : the POWER switch is set to VCR) 3. Dubbing menu (when the POWER switch is set to VCR and you select \DUB MODE from the VCR menu) 4. Set up menu (when you select \REC.SET UP from the VCR menu) Camera menu (CAM. MENU)

The camera returns to record pause mode.

Record review

When the camera is in record pause mode, you can use record review to play back the last few seconds of your recording and then return automatically to record pause mode. You can quickly make sure that a scene has recorded properly and then go on to shoot the next scene, without producing any noise in the picture.
1. Make sure the camera is in record pause mode. 2. Press and release the c (record review) button while you check the picture in the display.
The camera rewinds the tape, plays back the last few seconds, and returns to record pause mode. Note: Noise may appear on the screen when you play the tape backwards.
Using the Various Recording Programs
The camera provides you with a choice of seven recording programs. They use different combinations of camera settings in order to adjust the exposure and other functions to match the recording situation. For simple point-and-shoot operation, select the Easy Recording program. Slide the program selector to the [ position. For normal shooting conditions, slide the program selector down to Q (program AE) mode. Open the program menu and select AUTO (see below). For various other recording conditions, the camera has five more specialized AE (auto exposure) programs.
Setting the program AE mode 1. 2. 3. 4. Set the camera to record pause mode. Slide the program selector down to Q (program AE) mode. Push the selector dial in to display the program menu. Turn the selector dial up or down to move the arrow up or down the display. 5. Push the selector dial in to select the desired program.

6. Press the start/stop button to begin recording.
Notes: The name of your selected recording program appears constantly on the left of the display, with the exception of the Easy Recording program whose [ mark is displayed and then disappears after 4 seconds. Avoid changing programs during recording as the brightness of the image may change suddenly. The specialized AE programs are not suitable for all kinds of lighting. The image may flicker, or a bright line may appear on the screen if you use them in the wrong lighting conditions. If you switch the camera from [ mode to Q mode, the camera returns to auto mode.

Using Digital Effects

Use the cameras digital effects for more interesting productions: faders, effects and the multi-image screen. You can add digital effects during recording or playback.

q Faders

Use the various faders to start or end scenes with a fade to or from black.

Fade Trigger

When you start recording, the scene gradually fades in from a black screen. When you stop recording, it gradually fades out.
When you start recording, the picture begins as a thin vertical line in the center of the screen which gradually expands sideways until it fills the whole of the screen. When you end a scene, the image is wiped from both sides of the screen.

Scroll

When you start recording the picture appears from the right hand side of the screen and expands sideways until it fills the whole screen. When you end a scene, the image is wiped back off.

Mosaic Fade

Blurs the image by enlarging the size of some pixels. The image appears as increasingly large squares of color as it fades out, and smaller squares when it fades in.

q Effects E

Use these to add special effects to your recordings. Sound is recorded normally.
Adds a paint-like effect, called solarization, to the image.

Black and White

Records the image in black and white.
Records a monochrome image with a sepia tint.

Mosaic

Blurs the image by enlarging the size of some pixels.

q Multi-image screen

Divides your display image into four, nine or sixteen smaller images with the Image Capture feature. With this feature, the current scene being shot or replayed by the camera is captured by the camcorder. Choose the transition speed manual, fast (every 4 frames), moderate (every 6 frames) or slow (every 8 frames) at which to capture the steps in a progression. Sound is recorded normally.

Notes: 16:9 is shown in the display when you switch the 16:9 effect on. You cannot use the 16:9 digital effect with the Easy Recording program. If you play back a recording made for 16:9 on a normal TV screen, the image will appear to be vertically squashed (compressed).

Audio Recording

Selecting the audio mode
ELURA can record sound in two audio modes 16-bit and 12-bit. The 16-bit mode produces the higher sound quality (slightly superior to CD) while the 12-bit mode records on two channels (stereo 1), leaving two channels free (stereo 2) for you to add new sound at a later date.

AUDIO MODE12bit

1. To switch to the 16-bit mode, open the menu and select AUDIO MODE. 2. Select 16 bit and close the menu.
16 bit is shown in the display for approximately four seconds. Notes: For details on adding new sound, see p. 82. For details of playing back a tape that has new sound on stereo 2, see page 89. If you add sound to a tape through audio dubbing then turn the POWER switch to VCR, the audio mode becomes automatically set to 12-bit. When you record to the ELURA from a camcorder with DV terminal outputs, the audio mode display becomes set to .
External microphone and headphones
To use an external microphone or headphones, you will need to attach the optional DU-200 Docking Unit.
Attaching the Optional DU-200 Docking Unit
The optional DU-200 Docking Unit is fitted with microphone, headphone and editing terminals. Connect it to the base of the ELURA via the MULTICONNECTOR.

LOCKING SCREW

1. Make sure that the ELURA is switched off. 2. Lift the MULTI-CONNECTOR cover and align the multiconnectors of the docking unit and the camera. 3. Push the docking unit onto the camera and turn the locking screw clockwise to fix it securely onto the base.
To remove, turn the locking screw counter-clockwise and pull the docking unit from the base of the camera. Make sure to close the cover. For greater creative control over audio recording, you can connect an external microphone to the camera via the DU-200 Docking Units MIC terminal. You can monitor the sound while recording by attaching stereo headphones to the H terminal on the docking unit. You can adjust the volume of attached headphones by turning the selector dial. A VOLUME bar appears in the display to indicate the current volume. The selector dial also controls the speaker volume once you remove the headphones from the headphone socket (p. 21).

Focus lock

Press the FOCUS button to turn off autofocus. The focus remains locked at the point set by autofocus. (eM.FOCUS appears in the display.) You can now adjust the focus manually with the selector dial. Press the FOCUS button again when you want to return to autofocus. If you zoom in on your subject after turning off autofocus, it may not stay in focus. It is generally best to adjust the zoom first, and then the focus.

Manual focus

Use the selector dial to set the focus. Turn the selector dial downward to move the focus farther away. Turn the selector dial upwards to bring the focus nearer.
Notes: You cannot adjust the focus without the e mark before M.FOCUS in the display. Push the FOCUS button so that e appears before M.FOCUS. Then you can adjust the focus manually. The manual focus setting is canceled if you: Turn the POWER switch to VCR or OFF. Select the [ (Easy Recording) program. When you are using the Easy Recording program, autofocus cannot be turned off. See Troubleshooting on p. 95 for a list of subjects which may not be suitable for autofocus.
Setting the White Balance
The cameras auto white balance system compensates for a wide range of lighting conditions. Although slight variations are unavoidable, colors will appear natural in virtually every situation. In some cases, you will get better results by setting the white balance yourself, or using one of the two preset modes: T Indoor Mode Under halogen or studio/video lighting Subject is of one dominant color Close ups U Outdoor mode In daylight, especially for closeups and where the subject is of one dominant color

WHITE BAL.AUTO

1. Open the camera menu and point the arrow at WHITE BAL. 2. a) For the indoor, outdoor or auto settings simply choose the setting.
T/U appears in the display when you set the white balance to indoor/outdoor mode.
b) To set the white balance yourself, point the camera at a white object (such as a sheet of paper) and zoom in until it fills the display, then select SET.
The W display flashes then remains lit. Depending on the light source, the flashing may at times continue. The result will remain better than with the auto setting and you can continue recording.

RTN1 or `RTN appears in the display. The tape counter with indication disappears from the display and the time code reappears. Notes: The zero set memory may not function correctly where there is a break between recordings on the tape. You can also use zero set memory to mark a position on a tape in record pause mode. When you then play back the tape, pressing rewind will take you back to the pre-marked position. If you remove the tape while the zero set memory is set, the memory is canceled and the tape counter reverts to timecode. The camera remembers your setting even if you turn it off and back on again or move the program selector.

The Dubbing Function

You can add special effects to prerecorded scenes as well as add varied scene transitions to the beginning and end of scenes while recording onto another tape. The ELURA dubs the scenes onto a tape in your VCR or another camcorder, adding your selected effect. Also, you can add audio to a tape (audio dubbing, p. 82) or both audio and visual (A/V insert, p. 80). You can adjust the starting and ending points of the scene (the cut-in and cut-out points, p. 73). In addition, the ELURA can record from a VCR, TV or analog camcorder (analog line-in, p. 78). If you connect another Canon digital video camcorder to the camera instead of a VCR, you can use the Dubbing Function for digital-to-digital dubbing, with virtually no generation loss in image and sound quality. However, you cannot add digital effects or set the cut-in and cut-out adjustments using the built-in digital timer (p. 74).
Preparing for Dubbing 1. Connect the camera to the VCR.
See the Connections for Playback on a TV Screen instructions on page 25.

2. Turn the TV on.

Be sure to set it to the video channel, or set the TV/Video selector to Video.
3. Turn on the VCR and load a blank cassette.
See your VCR instruction manual.
4. Open the VCR menu and select \DUB MODE.
When you select the DUB MODE menu all the displayed information is also displayed on the screen of the TV connected your VCR. However, this information will not be recorded onto the tape in the VCR.
Setting the camera to control your VCR
The camcorders Dubbing Function controls your VCR by using the same infra-red signals as the VCRs remote control. Make sure the camera is in a spot where it can remotely control your VCR.
Infra-red signals transmitter
1. Check where the remote control sensor is on your VCR using its normal remote control. 2. Place the camera pointing directly at the sensor, not more than 20 inches (50 cm) away.
Check that the sensor will pick up signals easily from this spot using the VCRs normal remote control. Make sure that the cables and the cameras shoulder strap do not obstruct the signals.

Certain pre-recorded software tapes are copyright protected. If you try to play back such a cassette, COPYRIGHT PROTECTED PLAYBACK IS RESTRICTED appears in the display for a few seconds and then the camera displays a blank blue screen; you cannot view the contents of the cassette. If you try to record from such a tape via the digital cable COPYRIGHT PROTECTED DUBBING RESTRICTED appears in the display; you cannot record the contents of the tape.
Recording from a VCR,TV or Other Camcorder (Analog Line-in)
You can record a TV program or a video played on your VCR or analog camcorder (digital camcorders, see p. 76) onto a tape in the ELURA, if the TV or other device has audio/video outputs. If an anomalous signal is sent from the TV or VCR, the images recorded on the tape may also be anomalous (although it may not appear so on the TV image), or not recorded at all. You may not be able to dub tapes recorded with the copyright protective signal. The ELURA cannot record or play back tapes with closed captioning.

OUTPUT

Preparations 1. Connect the camera to the VCR, TV or other camcorder.
