Video Diary #2: Life Through A Lens

So the camera's arrived and it comes with a couple of exciting lens attachments! We have a wide angle and a telephoto one.

The wide angle lens increases the camera's field of vision by effectively using a mild fish-eye effect (you know, like the little peep hole in your front door). This makes filming landscapes a bit better as you can effectively fit more on the screen and should be handy when filming in relatively close proximity to the subject - particularly if you have a couple of people on screen.

The telephoto lens simply multiplies the zoom by 2.

You can see the difference these lenses actually make in the video below. Oh, and I've thrown a bit of Strauss in!


Hosting the file on Youtube doesn't really do the fantastic camera image any favours. You'll just have to take my word for the excellentness of it all!
