Re: [TCML] Tesla Coil Video Problems

["Peter Terren" <pterren@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Digital cameras work fine and many of mine have been published.  Just use a 
longer exposure or night mode and lock the focus.  Much better options to 
adjust white balance (set for Flash mode to get the sparks right) .
Digital video works fine too but you may need to
1: shoot night mode,
2 fix the focus (auto focus will just hunt over the full range for variable 
sparks),
3 use a tripod,
4 use some illumination of the coil. Don't use complete darkness unless you 
have a specific goal.

Broadcast video works fine too.
