Sometimes You Have to Shake Your Head

I dunno — things that I take for granted doing when using my Canon still camera somehow get totally forgotten when I'm using my Canon DVcam.  Something about that last FF1 video was bugging me but I couldn't quite put my finger on it.  Sitting here coughing my guts up (don't ask), I suddenly realized that the brain wasn't working when I was recording the last few videos.  Pull out the trusty manual and phrases like "turn off the image stabilization when using a tripod" and "set a custom white balance when using lighting like halogen floods" pretty much leap right off the page.  ::sigh::  I reshot the video and it's a whole lot better now.  There are a few more recent videos that I should reshoot but right now, the drive to do so just isn't there.
