Just Hit Record - Video Basics for Photographers

Join Sony Digital Imaging Advocate Joanne Stephan for a no-pressure, fun-filled online workshop designed for photographers who are wanting to take the leap into video, are afraid and have no idea where to start.

If the red record button stresses you out, terms like frame rate, codecs, LUTs, sLog make your eyes glaze over, or you’ve just never felt confident making the jump from stills to clips then, this one’s for you.

Titled “JUST HIT RECORD,” this Zoom workshop will break down video basics, using plain language, and a few good laughs along the way.

Whether you’re capturing BTS content, reels, your child's extra cirricular activities or simply want to add motion to your creative toolkit, this session will give you the foundations to get started immediately, using the gear you already have.

• What video actually is (hint: it's just lots of photos really fast)
• The only settings you really need to know to get started
• Frame rates, shutter speeds, and resolutions made super simple
• How to stabilise your shots and get decent audio
• Why ND filters are your best friend
• Picture Profiles without overthinking it
• What to shoot and where to start without feeling overwhelmed 

• Your camera (any camera that can shoot video)
• 1 lens (so you can see what's going on)
• A notebook 
• Comfy seat, a cuppa, snacks and your bravery!
