This was using all I learned here and in just a week and four days practice is pretty nice. I used a tripod but still have my mic on the hotshoe due to hardware probs. The cam and mic are about 25-30ft from the stools using a 105mm lens. Mic is set to 90deg. I won't post my first vid as it is harmful to the eye and ear.
I am close to my goal of presenting quality video to the performers for their use. I may take up editing/production but for now need next to master the camera options and controls. Next I will practice composition and exposure. Focus is going great with the auto focus with face detection. I have recorded on tripod in 20-25mph winds with no odd whooshes or pops using a foam muff. My nice furr is arriving in a week or so. I have noticed that distance from the speakers or performers is really hard on mic levels.
