In Media Express,

1. Click on the Log and Capture tab
2. Click on the ! button next to Name. This will force the program to prompt you for a filename each time you start recording. This avoids having a number of recordings named "Untitled 01"
3. Confirm "V", "1", and "2" tracks are highlighted red and that you see the audio levels moving as you talk. Note that the audio levels are delayed by about a second. If you have on your headphones, you will also hear your voice delayed by about a second.

Adjust your shot.

The LCD monitor on top of the camera flips up and spins so you can view the camera shot.

Use the Pan & Tilt Lock knobs to loosen/tighten the Pan & Tilt.

Use the Zoom paddle to adjust how closeup or wide your shot is.

When prompted for the file name, use this naming convention:

Last Name 2 Initials / First Name 2 Initials / Underscore / Year / Month / Day

for example, a subject named David Jaffitz being recorded on the 26th of July in 2018 would be:

JaDa_20180726

Using this naming convention causes all our files to sort alphabetically by subject and by date recorded.

To review your recording, click <Window> > File Explorer (or keyboard Window>E).
