How to Use the Auto Mode for the Canon XH A1

Video Transcript

The next mode is called auto mode and it's represented by the "a" on the control dial and this mode basically it's just like the easy recording with one big difference, all your variables are not locked you can actually change things but the camera by default is going to be, you know, doing the auto-focus and controlling the shutter and the gain and all that stuff. But you have the option to control it as well. So we've got auto mode on right now, and it's basically the camera is controlling everything but I have the option to use all our functions right here and I will be going through these later and our rings as well, focus and zoom, the iris and then the shutter, I'll be going through everything later but basically I think this mode is great. If you start out on the easy recording mode just to kind of get an idea how the, how things work and then maybe the next mode that you move into is the auto mode. Because you have got the camera still doing everything for you but now you can start to learn how to use the functions yourself and not have to rely on the camera's auto, auto functions and it's a great way to start out getting you on the way to be able to use the manual mode. So that's a little bit about auto mode, another great one for beginners but a little bit more control than the easy recording.
