Home video cameras are now Actually outselling home movie imeras. Last year, for the first ime, manufacturers sold more lan 190,000 home video cameras l the United States -- a figure lat exceeded the sales of 8mm id Super-8 movie cameras com- ined. There are many reasons why ie popularity of video cameras is creasing so rapidly. Home video meras have many advantages j v e r c o n v e n t i o n a l m o v i e cameras. When you shoot a scene frith a video camera, you can re­ wind it and take a look at it on the spot, without sending any film out to be developed. You can't ruin a videotape by exposing it to light. But you can use it over and over, and that can save you money. You can watch a tape on any TV set, without setting up a projector. And, since a videotape can run for two hours or more, you'll never again have to put up with the hassles of changing, cutting, and splicing film. Now for some specific answers to your questions: Video cameras are designed to be used with videocassette recorders. And if you plan to do any outdoor shooting, you'll pro­ bably want to use your camera with a portable VCR. Then you can sling you VCR over your shoulder, connect it to your camera, and start shooting. Your c a m e r a w i l l r u n o f f t h e rechargeable battery pack built into your VCR. If you want to use your camera indoors, off house current, you'll need another component -- an AC adaptor designed to match your camera. Retail prices of AC adap­ tors range from around $50 to more than $100, depending on the kind of VCR you own, and the kind of camera you buy. Lights and tripods are also han­ dy accessories for both indoor and outdoor shooting. You won't need any special accessories to shoot in color, since virtually all of the home video cameras now on the market are color models. You won't have to buy any special audio equipment, either, since most home video cameras are e q u i p p e d w i t h b u i l t - i n microphones. Some cameras have mikes mounted on little telescop­ ing booms above the lens, and a good boom mike usually works better than one hidden away in the front panel of a camera. Retail prices of home video cameras range from around $600 to more than $2,000, and you can get just about as many special features as you can afford. One feature to look for is an electronic viewfinder -- a tiny, built-in, black-and-white TV monitor that works just like an optical viewfinder. With an electronic viewfinder, you can rewind and review a scene you've just shot without lugging a television set around. And that's one good reason to choose a camera with an electronic viewfinder. Other important features of video cameras include: • A color temperature control. This mysterious-sounding feature is usually a simple switch used to set a camera for indoor or outdoor shooting. Its name stems from the fact that hot light sources, such as the sun, give off a different kind of light than cooler sources, such as light bulbs. A color temperature control does what filters do on film cameras. • A white balance control is also a color-compensation control. Ort some cameras it's automatic and o n o t h e r s i t ' s m a n u a l . A n automatic white balace control with a manual override is a nice feature if you're new to home video but don't want to outgrow your camera. • A zoom lens is a very useful feature, both for special effects and to switch between closeups and side-angle shots without changing lenses. A 1:6 zoom lens will zoom farther in and out than one with a smaller ratio, such as 1:4. Some lenses also have a feature called a macro for ex­ tremely closeup shooting. • Low-light lenses can be ad­ justed for use in very low light. A lens with an £1.4 iris setting can take pictures in lower light than one with a larger f-stop rating such as 1.6. Other special features for home v i d e o c a m e r a s i n c l u d e viewfinders that can be used on either side of the camera, standby switches to cut down the dram on VCR batteries, and low-light sen­ sitivity switches, also called automatic gain controls. Some new video cameras even have built-in letter and number generators that can be used to compose movie titles over any background. Some home video cameras are lighter than others, and some new models have new, improved pic­ ture tubes. Most cameras that have been around for a while use a standard RCA-developed tube called a Vidicon. Newer, more ad­ vanced tubes have names such as Newvicon, Saticon and Trinicon. And Hitachi recently introduced a new camera with no tube at all. It has a solid-state imagensensing chip, and it carries a suggested retail paper of $1,995. So, {here will always be a place in the happy couple's home for a good 35 mm cameras, but it will have to make room now for the video camera, a gift that can pro­ vide lasting enjoyment.
