Secondly, as a relative newcomer to birding (just under 3 years) I wanted to identify species in the field that were not instantly familiar to me, the video footage is invaluable because you can play the footage over and over again to identify the birds and the magnification you can achieve gives you detailed images/features of the bird which is not seen in detail as with a scope, even with a zoom lens and the ability to freeze on a frame to study is even better. Thirdly, producing stills from the camcorder was not my immediate intention and my first camcorder was in Hi 8 mm format which did not have this facility readily accessible. I seemed to stumble across stills when i was learning the basic features of my digital camcorder and now concentrate more on this aspect for the rarities and the fact that there are more pixels in a still image than a video grab which produces a better image and this method is proving very popular with many people now if their camcorder has a stills facility . And lastly, one aspect which most people dont think about and can prove invaluable is recording bird sound on a camcorder, most models of camcorders have a built in microphone and the quality of the built in microphones have improved dramatically and most are stereo quality anyway. How many times have you come across a bird hidden from view which is singing in front of you which you could not identify ? I have recorded birdsong on a number of occasions recently in an effort to improve my birdsong ID, I just point the built in microphone on the camcorder to the sound source and record the sound, then i can drop it down from the digital video cassette onto a VHS video cassette or a cassette tape through my nicam video recorder attached to my hi fi system or even onto a record able CD through the computer then playback and try to identify the bird from tapes or cd's and then reuse that particular length of digital video footage again,. |
