nex5 video advice needed urgently

I hope someone can help ...

I've just got a nex-5 twin kit to give to staff for logging installs, and I would appreciate any tips for video shooting with this little cam as the manual is very sparse on this subject.

I've recorded a couple of samples but they are very choppy. Most of the shots will be set in homes/offices and will be used to record installs of equipment/furniture so really stationary objects with panning. Light will be of course mixed though I do have some compact video lights as well.

What settings should be setup of cam before turning to video?

Any help, tips, etc would be greatly appreciated.

PS. I'm used to Canon and Nikon equipment myself, though using this little cam is fun and the results you can get ....
