Hello.  Thought I'd get some advice on the best camera settings to take videos of fireworks in a few weeks.
We are setting them off in our own backyard in a 10 acre open grass area.
Questions;
How high would you recommend I set the PS3?  I'd like to take video looking down at the fireworks for the effect - unless someone has a better idea.

Also, I've never taken video at night, and I suspect there's manual settings I need to do.
I am not a photographer, all my cameras do best on 'auto' settings.  

Thanks for the help!

In what time of the night you want to fly ? I made a test pic of my location at 23:00 and tabbed in the middle on the picture screen for exposure before i took the photo. Doubleshoot.
