How to use the Canon Vixia G70 Camcorder

[@VOlshansky]

Thank you Smith College for sharing this valuable tutorial to the public, of which I am a member therof. I prudently overlook the spelling as I am in cinematography and not an English major. It is an excellently done video but the black of the g70 and the non-contrast lighting makes it hard to see some of the places on the camcorder body, but for the most part it is acceptable. So I say, thanks again for sharing.

This camera, has been such a nightmare. The Autofocus hunts nonstop, to the point I can only use it manual focus, which is a real drag, when I just want to sit in front of it, and show an item. It will slowly go out and into, focus, over and over and over and over, no matter what. Even re-lighting and re-painting, my entire studio space, didn't help. I have to constantly wait for focus, monitor and external screen to time, the "in focus" moments, and, re-shoot scenes, over and over and over. Sometime I miss it, till I see it during Edit, and have to go back to shoot again... Any idea how to resolve this?

Does the camera have a built-in microphone?

[@christopherkennedy44]

What model of external microphone is that? Thanks!

Looks like a Deity V-Mic D3

Good info. Only disagree on resolution, storage is cheap nowadays so I always record everything in 4k
