transfer from computer to tv

If I buy a hard drive or flash camcorder, and the memory is full, I download to the computer. no problem. Once it's on the computer, how do I watch it on my TV?
With my mini dv camcorder I just switch out tapes when I want to watch older movies but with digital - do I have to transfer it back to the camera?

Staff

If your computer has a DvD Burner you could master a DvD and watch it that way. If not...and/or you have a stand alone DvD Burner you could connect to it with the camcorder and copy the footage to a disk.
If you have none of these than you might have to copy back to the camcorder for playback or just keep it on flash and replace them as needed.

Nikon D40 lcd screen

Is there any way to have the viewfinder show up on the LCD screen or is it only to review pictures you have already taken?

Best Answer
Staff

The feature is called Live View and unfortunately the Nikon D40 does not support that function.

Is there a cord that you can split live feed?

We are running an event in which we will need to be displaying video recorded earlier in the day through two high powered projectors. I was wondering if there is a cord you can use to split video feed to connect to the projectors, because both screens need to be displaying the same thing at once.

Staff

Splitting a video feed reduces the signal strength and may cause problems. Look into a Distribution Amplifier (DA). It is a small box that has 1 line in (audio and video) and usually 4 lines out (audio and video). It is designed to boost and split the signal.

Taking photos at an indoor concert

Need advice! Say you are in the 20th row of an indoor concert. The venue is dark, the performer is under colored lights. Could you give me a place to start as far as settings for my digital SLR. (f stop, shutter speed, etc.) I have tried different things, but the results just aren't excellent yet. Thanks!

Staff

Hmmmm.....Tricky. OK. First you need to set the ISO up to around 800. You'll have some noise, but we will address that in a little while.
Next set you Aperture to around ....f/11 or f/13. You need some depth. The temptation is to open the Aperture up big but that gives you a shallow depth of field. You should be using a 300mm zoom lens and that will give you the soft depth of field.
Set the White Balance to Artificial Light (Tungsten). Using Auto will mess up the colors.
Lastly...and this is the fun part....Set the Shutter as low as you can but not below 1/60. If the shot looks too dark...back off the Aperture to f/8 or a little larger until you get close to what you want. You might have to up the ISO to 1000. DON'T TRUST THE METER. Keep working with the Aperture numbers. Use you LCD Screen and shot until you like the shot.

As for noise in the photos look into Noise Ninja. It is a Photoshop plugin that greatly reduces noise in photos.

Are all AA batteries rechargeable?

My Polaroid Digital Camera uses 2 AA batteries - are there only certain types that are recharable?

Where is the best place to get a recharger?

Staff

Only rechargeable batteries can be recharged and require a special recharger that is designed for that battery type...NiCad...NiHM...Rechargeable Alkaline and Lithium. Rechargers usually come paired with batteries, a set of AA and AAA is common. Additional batteries can be bought separately.

WARNING: Not all AA batteries are rechargeable. Putting non-rechargeable batteries in a recharger can be VERY DANGERIOUS.

Stop by your nearest BestBuy. They have a great selection of rechargeable batteries and the Camera section will help you get the battery that will be best for your camera.

ABOUT CAMERA SONY SLR

I AM PLANNING TO BUY A SONY SLR, BUT I WANT TO BE ABLE TO TAKE VIDEO ALSO! DOES IT HAVE THAT FEATURE??

Staff

The ability to record video is a relatively new feature being added to some D-SLR cameras. Nikon and Canon having just a couple of D-SLR models supporting it. Currently there is no video record feature available on the Sony Alpha series at this time.

What is a good camera to take videos at concerts?

There is a ton of noise at concerts, which make it nearly impossible to get good sound quality. Which cameras can give me good sound quality and good picture quality? I'd prefer a digital camera, but whatever works.

Staff

All camcorders might have a problem with over driven audio, such as what you generally find at a concert. Unless the camcorder has a manual mode for the audio levels allowing you to turn down the record level. One way around this is to cover the microphone on the camcorder with a couple (or more) layers of tissue paper. Be careful to just tape the outer edges of the paper to the camcorder body so as not to cover the mic with the tape, otherwise you'll block the sound off completely. The idea is to muffle the sound slightly...like ear plugs.
There are several high end pro camcorders that will have adjustable audio at www.bestbuybusiness.com. The Canon XL2 and GL2 and the Sony DHR-FX1 and DCR-VX2100 would work great for concert shooting.

what does it mean when the screen is white & power will not stay on?

Staff

It might be a power issue. Try changing to a different battery and see if it still does it. If it does still have the problem take it to your nearest Best Buy and have the Geek Squad take a look. They will advice you what can be done.

What if the camera turns off turns on but then turns off again

i drop my camera now it is turning on but then turns right off what do i do

Staff

Could be any number of things. Sounds like the power button might be stuck and the camera is going into the start up and shut down cycle over and over. Or...possibly the battery might have been damaged and is not suppling enough amperage to keep the camera running.
It would be best to take it to your nearest Best Buy and have the Geek Squad take a look. They will advice you what can be done.
