Q. I own an old digital camera, dsc w30. When I'm recording video, I cannot use the zoom function. I tried and nothing happen. Why??? Or does this camera really can't do this?
Answer
I think it is a restriction on that camera. Many digital cameras can't zoom in video mode.
That's just one of the reasons why it's best to use a proper camcorder for video work!

Video camera suggestions please?
Q. http://t.cn/8kTFYfY
Hello, I am a complete novice to photography. I am looking to film makeup tutorials and need a camera to do so.
I need a camera that can zoom in on my face without being blurry and will show subtle highlights/ changes in skin tone. I will mostly film indoors, at various times of the day, so I would like a camera that can be adjusted so that I don't appear yellow or washed out.
I would also like the camera to capture sound clearly without making my voice sound faded.
Any suggestions on either a camera, or certain features I should be looking out for in a camera would be highly appreciated, thank you.

Answer
Video and photography are very different. But they do share some similarities.
Since you are in a confined area, the zoom does not need to be very much. Just because you capture video indoors does not mean you do not need to add light. If you are controlling the light, your face does not need to "appear yellow or washed out". Using an external mic connected to the camera allows the mic to stay close to your mouth (within a foot or two should be fine) while allowing the camera to be where it is needed - even better, DON'T talk, but capture the audio later as a narrative, then add that to the video when editing.
Tips:
ADD light. This can be as simple as a video light or as complex as lots of PAR cans on trusses using dimmers. There are reasons studios use lights. Copy them as much as you can. ADD light!.
Use the white balance in the camera. Read the manual for the camcorder.
Use some sort of steadying device. Tripod, shelf, chair - anything - but not handheld for video capture.
Use and external mic.
If the Canon HF R400 is too expensive, save your money.
Learn to use a video editor. Your computer may need upgrading. You also may need to buy a video editor.
The camera or camcorder are just one part of a bunch of other stuff that needs to work together...
