This slim and small volume gives you basic information about using a home camcorder. Published in 1995, the section on camcorder equipment is already half outdated. The techniques sections cover zooming, panning, tilting, composing, etc. Each of the 101 tips is very brief, to the point of not being too helpful sometimes. For example, lighting -- a very important topic -- receives only superficial coverage.While this book can be carried with you easily, overall it's a disappointment. If you are genuinely green to camcorder videography, this can get you started. If you are looking to improve your videos, look elsewhere.
