[Top]On Camera BatteriesTip: Don't miss out on an imortant event because of only having 1 battery. Extended batteries are available for that reason. The trial size battery that this product comes with last generally between 20 and 40 minuntes.
[Top]Video TripodsTip: Have you ever returned from a trip thinking you had taken some great shots? But, upon review of your prints you were disappointed to discover that some of them, especially those shot indoors or at night or in other dark places, came out blurry, looking like someone was shaking the camera when you took the picture? That is a very common problem called “Camera Shake” and every year it destroys millions of photos that could have been wonderful. “Camera Shake” is caused when there isn’t enough light for the camera to set a fast shutter speed. Your camera’s shutter opens and has to stay open for up to several seconds for enough light to hit the film to make an image. The problem: most people cannot hold a camera perfectly still for more than a small fraction of a second. The blurry image you see is caused by the camera moving while the shutter is open, and it happens to everyone. To avoid “Camera Shake” and get a clear sharp picture in low light, the camera must be attached to something so it will not move at all. That is where a tripod comes in. Mount the camera to the tripod and it will not move. Also, use the camera’s self-timer or a cable release so that you are not touching the camera when the picture is taken. Do this, and you will eliminate “Camera Shake” and get the great clear pictures you were expecting.
