card.)

camera.

Selecting the Video Resolution:

IMPORTANT: We recommend shooting video in WVGA (standard definition for the Web) for maximum

compliance with the Medill-recommended video editing software.

Setting the Date/Time

Using your External Microphone

The Zi10 has a built-in microphone, suitable for b-roll audio. But for interviews and recording your narration

track, you should use your lavalier microphone or a stick microphone. You can alter the sensitivity of your

external mic by adjusting the Microphone Gain in the Settings Menu.

Playing Videos

Transferring your Files to your Computer

Turn off the camera and use the USB connector to connect it to your computer.

To find your video and photo files, navigate to ―My Computer‖ or the finder menu, and the name of the card

will pop up as a drive.

The .MOV files are your video files. Copy and paste them into a new folder on your computer.

**If you filmed in anything other than WVGA, you may need to edit your video using the Arcsoft Media

Impression for Kodak software (provided on the camera) if you are using a PC, or using the iLife video editing

software if you are using a Mac. See additional documentation for instructions on editing video.
