Vid of my R/C plane Options

[blk96gt]

I had my dad film me flying my R/C plane today. It's hard to see some of the time, my dad's not a great camera mann. Also, to those who have never flown, it's not as easy as it looks.

Wow very cool, if only I had money for a new toy I know what I would get.

A little tip, may help it may not
From the videos the focus seem to go in and out.
I can't tell if it's from the camera or from encoding to .wmv
Most video camera's have an option to turn off the auto-focus, the option is even hidden on a few.
If your camera has the option of turning off autofocus, zoom out to max optical zoom ( not digital zoom ), then manually set the focus.
It should help with the bluring in and out when the camera can't find the small plane at larger distances.
Then again it might not help do to the speed of the plan, but you should give it a try.

I looked all through the menus and couldn't find anything about the auto-focus, but there are ways to change it to different settings like Beach & Sky, Sunset, and a few others, and right now it's set for Auto, so I might try changing that and see if it helps. There were also some white balance settings that are like indoor, outdoor, and something else, and it's set on auto right now too, so I might try giving that a try.
