Q&A: doing a video recording with a Sony CyberShot DSC-W220 camera?
Question by : doing a video recording with a Sony CyberShot DSC-W220 camera?
I know the camera is not a video camera, but due to budget crunch we have to use this instead of a Sony camcorder we
were about to get. Looked details about the camera at http://www.cameralabs.com/reviews/Sony_Cyber-shot_DSC_W220/verdict.shtml
and found that it can shoot VGA (640 x 480 pixels) video at two frame rates and a smaller 320 x 240 size at 8 frames per second.
We need do produce a recording of a 2hour workshop(most likely which will be indoor).
I don’t know if the camera supports external mike or not. The produced video will need to be edited
a bit using Windows MovieMaker and we may need to add some animations using Flash or another free tool.
Questions are:
1. How do I determine what is the capacity of the memory stick duo media the camera currently has?
2. How can I find out what length of video can it hold? I see something like
The Cyber-shot DSC-W220 can shoot movies in one of two VGA (640 x 480 pixels) modes. 640 Fine records at 30fps and 640 Standard at 17fps. Movies are encoded and stored as MPEG files and the 640 Fine mode occupies about 1GB of card space for a little over 12 minutes of footage. There’s a 2GB single file size limit, so the maximum recording time is effectively just under half an hour. To record using the 640 Fine mode you need to use Memory Stick Duo media.
There’s also a 320×240 option which shoots at 8fps. Restricting the small size video to 8fps seems a little over the top though.
at http://www.cameralabs.com/reviews/Sony_Cyber-shot_DSC_W220/index.shtml
3. Should I record at 640 Fine records at 30fps for good quality or would 640 Standard at 17fps be decent too using which we can record longer?
4. Using a 16GB Memory Stick Duo media can I do a 2 hour recording with reasonably good quality or am I limited to less than half an hour because of the 2GB single file size limit?
Any advice would be welcome.

Answer by Petra_au
I have a copy of the DSC-W220 Handbook on my hard drive, so I’ll try to answer some of your questions…but I recommend you go to Sony.com and download the Handbook and Instruction Manual.
The Instruction Manual has a chart in it which shows you how many images you can shoot and how much video you can record per 1GB, 2GB 4GB etc. Alternatively, you can also read the display information on the LCD. It shows you how much capacity/remaining capacity you have. When you insert the Memory Stick, and go into Movie shooting mode, the information displays how much recording time you have in hours/minutes/seconds.
The approx. length of video 640×480 (Fine) is 25 minutes per 2GB. 16GB will allow approx. 3 hours 22 minutes. For the very best video quality, you should record in Fine mode…however, you MUST use a Memory Stick PRO Duo (page 121 of the Handbook states this). If you only use Memory Stick Duo, you will NOT be able to record movies in Fine mode.
If the file size is limited to 2GB, the camera will stop recording when it reaches the limit (approx. 25 minutes). To continue recording, simply press record again.
When thinking about recording video continuously for 2 hours, you may need to consider whether you have adequate battery life. Though I think the W220′s battery allows approx. 175 minutes of continuous recording time per full charge. You may need to think about a second battery as a back up. Alternatively you can also use the optional AC adapter (AC-LS5 K).
Compact cameras don’t allow for an external microphone and many have fairly poor audio quality. However, from one review of the W220 (below) they said they “found the movies to be clean and smooth-running, and audio quality was excellent”
http://www.imaging-resource.com/PRODS/W220/W220A.HTM
You will of course need to mount the camera on a tripod and, because you are shooting indoors, make sure you have good lighting. I would advise you to do a test recording to see whether your lighting is adequate.
good luck…

What is a good boom mic for a sony sr-11 video camera?
Question by Ramone H: What is a good boom mic for a sony sr-11 video camera?
i just purchased my sony sr 11 camera and i need a good boom mic, shotgun mics are good but not what i need, does anyone know of a good boom mic that can support my camera? its a sony sr-11
Best answer:
Answer by Little Dog
uh… shotgun mics are mounted to the boom pole.
What is your budget?
Audio Technica has a good range from entry to very high end. Sennheiser makes good high-end ones. I like my NRG Research SA-568 switchable. And it comes with an XLR cable and a 1/8″ jack… You will need a XLR mic extension cable. 25 feet is a good start.
You will also want a shock-mount. The Jabra SMM-1 is a universal mount. And a boom pole. And a Rykote softie to cut wind nois is important.
