0:03:52.020,0:03:59.261 The attenuation for tilting the camera,[br]can be controlled using this wheel. 0:03:59.261,0:04:03.739 As you can see it bounces slightly. 0:04:03.739,0:04:06.850 The default setting is "2". 0:04:06.850,0:04:12.203 You can control this bouncing by turning[br]this wheel and resetting it to "0". 0:04:12.203,0:04:14.640 The camera remains steady almost on its own. 0:04:14.640,0:04:17.651 If you have the camera in a raised position 0:04:17.651,0:04:19.552 and have to point it down all the time, 0:04:19.552,0:04:22.833 you can use a loose setting[br]to disable the suspension, 0:04:22.833,0:04:26.730 which would make it tilt back completely. 0:04:26.730,0:04:30.493 A medium setting is almost always correct. 0:04:30.493,0:04:33.063 The same goes for the lower level. 0:04:33.063,0:04:36.482 This is the wheel for the rotational axis, 0:04:36.482,0:04:38.128 if I set it to "2" it is relatively stiff, 0:04:38.128,0:04:41.794 if I set it to "0" it is relatively loose. 0:04:41.794,0:04:45.740 After changing the setting you'll have to[br]pivot back and forth a bit to make it latch, 0:04:45.740,0:04:48.475 otherwise it is not current. 0:04:48.475,0:04:52.260 I would recommend "1",[br]which is quite alright. 0:04:52.260,0:04:54.816 And again for this joint,[br]if this is sticking out, 0:04:54.816,0:04:56.722 do not apply force to the tripod, 0:04:56.722,0:04:59.500 it will damage the tripod, 0:04:59.500,0:05:03.375 instead swing this in,[br]which makes the axis turn easily. 0:05:03.375,0:05:06.535 Usually the lower axis should not be locked. 0:05:06.535,0:05:13.099 The upper one might be sensible on occasion,[br]but the lower one under no circumstances. 0:05:13.099,0:05:18.557 Don't adjust the height of the tripod[br]on the screws down there, 0:05:18.557,0:05:21.514 one of us will make the adjustment 0:05:21.514,0:05:25.960 if necessary. 0:05:25.960,0:05:28.371 Another related topic is this: 0:05:28.371,0:05:30.443 Never film the audience! 0:05:30.443,0:05:32.745 Make sure that faces are visible[br]under no circumstances! 0:05:32.745,0:05:35.518 Of course, if someone runs in front of[br]a camera it is their own fault, 0:05:35.518,0:05:37.278 the video-mixing angel will also ensure 0:05:37.278,0:05:39.558 to switch to another camera in this case. 0:05:39.558,0:05:42.330 But when there is an audience question 0:05:42.330,0:05:46.263 don't turn the camera around to film it. 0:05:46.263,0:05:49.171 It is the usual policy at CCC events,[br]particularly at the congress, 0:05:49.171,0:05:53.371 not to show the audience. 0:05:53.371,0:05:58.848 If you enter the hall for your shift, 0:05:58.848,0:06:03.169 don't go straight for a camera.[br]Instead meet at the video-mixing table. 0:06:03.169,0:06:06.814 In hall 1 and 2 this is at the front, 0:06:06.814,0:06:10.300 in hall 6 and G it is at the back,[br]you'll see it immediately, 0:06:10.300,0:06:14.506 there are many monitors and control panels. 0:06:14.506,0:06:18.774 Wait there until all camera angels for[br]the hall are present and then determine, 0:06:18.774,0:06:21.934 who operates which camera. 0:06:21.934,0:06:29.184 This way the video-mixing angel and the hall[br]coordinator are aware everyone is present 0:06:29.184,0:06:34.243 and doesn't have to call the heaven to[br]organize new people. 0:06:34.243,0:06:41.514 If you have any problems just talk to the[br]hall engineering coordinator. 0:06:41.514,0:06:43.002 Alright, that should be it, 0:06:43.002,0:06:45.519 if there are any changes, 0:06:45.519,0:06:47.729 they will be in the angelsystem,[br]there is a "News" section, 0:06:47.729,0:06:51.000 just check if we announced anything. 0:06:52.010,0:06:54.030 Have fun!
