I am going to be filming the evening local fireworks celebration this coming weekend and I was wondering if anyone had any tips on best settings?
Thanks!

Any tips? Any special filters I should use? Should I just use the "Fireworks" setting in the camera setup and leave it alone? Should I use the infinite focus?

Well, for anyone interested. I removed the filter from my HF11 and just set the camera to Fireworks mode and that worked very well. Got some nice footage.
Now to need to figure out how to get decent shots of a Sunrise and Sunset. I keep having low-light issues, even when using the "sunset" setting on the camera. I've tried adjusting the exposure, but that makes it worse.
I suspect I need to get a good filter and open up the exposure to let in more light... Gonna keep experimenting.
