DIGITAL CAMCORDER Information

Everything you do in regards to giving a lesson revolves around capture and replay video in a crystal clear frame-by-frame format.  Manual Shutter Speed control in the camcorder is the critical component used in the video capture process which enables the software to replay the video crystal-clear.  

Some camcorders use the ‘Sports Mode’ feature instead of Manual Shutter Speed, this produces a blurred image through the critical impact area…avoid cameras with a ‘Sports Mode’.  Avoid motion analysis companies who recommend camcorders with ‘Sports Mode’.  Sony cameras use 'Sports Mode' and are not recommended. 

• Manual Shutter Speed settings of 1/2000th or higher suggested
• Digital Video (fire-wire) port
