Any tips on how to get a good pics of projector output? What should be the digicam settings?
Thanks.
I believe the most important thing you'll need is a steady tripod - with remote trigger sana pero kung wala, i-timer mo na lang to lessen the camera shake when you press the shutter button. Yes, the slightest nudge of your index finger could ruin that HD moment.
If you're using a DSLR, you may opt to play around with the aperture, ISO and exposure settings, depending on the ambient light inside your viewing room. If you're just using a good 'ol point & shoot cam, then best you just put it to auto (or Program mode if it has) but switch off the flash (you wouldn't want that reflection on the screen of course).
Depending on the speed of your cam, you can either just snap away when your fave scene registers OR you can ff and pause it as well to get the best detail - tact sharp photo. Take a number of test shots to make sure you have equal lighting on your panel and that your cam is dead center. If you're not centered (horizontally or vertically), this would of course lead to distortion and uneven shading of the picture that will register.
Last but not the least, I just wanna say that it's a trial and error thing. Your set-up / cam settings would be uniquely yours given the environment you're shooting in, the panel you're using, and time of the day you're doing it. Once you get the hang of it, talagang super enjoy to capture those crystal HD moments. (Hirap nga lang mag-set-up ng tripod bro
)
Just my 10 cents. Enjoy!
PS: Don't do screencaps if it's the first time you're viewing a title / movie. It will surely ruin your viewing experience cause it's so interruptive (aside from the fact that you have your cam and tripod mount right in front of you - depriving you of your usual 'sweet spot.' Enjoy the movie first, take note of the highlight HD scenes you'd like to capture and balikan mo nalang after you finish the movie.
