People that aren't used to being on-camera may get nervous and freeze-up when they see the red tally light on your camera begin to blink. I've found that some people are more relaxed & perform better if you turn it off or tape it up. Your camera might have a switch or menu function that lets you turn off the tally. If your camera doesn't offer that option, you can simply cover it up with a small piece of black gaffers tape. Remember, one of your goals should always be to help the people you shoot look their best on camera. When you're working with amateur actors or uninitiated interviewees, do what you can to eliminate tally light stage fright.
