In the video linked, i have gone over several points and features on how to set up a camera, such as:

• the on/off switch used to turn the camera on and off between shots as it will save battery life.
• the focus. which is used to focus on things while filming.
• microphone. the three dots. make sure not to cover. 
• turning the dial to the camera icon to turn it onto movie shooting mode. 
• the camera button used to start shooting a movie. to stop shooting simply press the button again. 
• setting the movie exposure: press the menu button and under the first page you'll see and 'movie exposure' which needs to be set to manual. 

notes on movie shooting. 

• do not hold the camera in the same position for a long period of time as it could make your skin have some redness so for this reason a use of a tripod is recommended.
• do not point the camera towards an intense light as this may damage the image sensor or the cameras internal components.
• try to avoid zooming the lens during movie shooting as this can cause changes in the exposure.
• try to avoid shooting a film under fluoresent or LED lighting as the film may flicker.
