Like other recent models, the "5" has a rear mounted camera camera that shoots high-definition video, and a forward facing (meaning you can shoot film of yourself) video camera.
Dick tried out his new "toy," shooting video and panoramic still photos during our November 6th hike from Mountain Home Inn to West Point Inn and back. He combined those shots, and photos taken with his Canon point-and-shoot camera, into this YouTube video which is posted on the Meandering in Marin on Tuesday YouTube Channel.
As you can see, getting one's face lined up in the forward-facing camera is a bit tricky. But practice makes perfect, so hopefully future Meandering videos will have a more professional look to them.
The still photos appear to move, thanks to the "Ken Burns Effect" built into the iMovie software Dick used to make the film.
If you'd like to see how Ken Burns combines video he's shot, archival movie clips, and still photos into his documentaries, watch his latest film, The Dust Bowl, which premieres on PBS TV stations at the beginning of next week, on Sunday, November 18, and Monday, November 19.
