Cameras

Our Canon 60D and 700D cameras can capture some very nice footage and offer great functionality when used correctly. When you check out a camera (or any other equipment), consider the following:

 * ===make sure your battery is charged (and fully charge before returning)===
 * ===clear the memory card after you back up your footage (DP students should get their own memory card and an external hard drive to back up your work)===

Camera use:

 * ===Set the camera frame rate to 24 FPS===
 * **Set camera to Manual**
 * **Set picture style (Sharpness to the left, Contrast to the left, Saturation left two stops, color set to middle)**

(NOTE: shallow depth of focus is not filmic in itself. Shallow or deep focus is a choice you make)
