I'm a newb and I'm looking for a book that will teach me everything I need to know about camera operations like exposure, focal length, aperture, depth of field, lens sizes and so on.
Anyone know of any good books?
I have a couple questions about the Canon XH A1s:
1. Which would give me better quality audio:
-plugging mic into XLR inputs on camcorder?
or
-recording audio separately on a portable recorder?
2. Is there a way to turn off the built in mic so the camcorder captures no audio?
