Definitely not Oscar material, but this morning I got a new tripod for my new EX3, so I have shot a Tripod Test (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7uTKD_qFQdQ). I seem to have overexposed it, especially the first scene. I did not look into the viewfinder because the left handle was in the way. I think I need to reposition it next time.

And the microphone worked great until I opened my mouth. Then it was just terrible. It was on auto, maybe I should have tried manual. But hey, I was just testing my tripod and could not think of everything yet. :)

So much more to learn!

works good! You can turn up the sound right on the side of the camera. I found the default setting to be WAY too low.

Thanks, Erik. Yes, I'll have to play with the sound more. That one was on automatic and did not work right.
