I thought I'd post my film ettiquet rules I wrote a while back. It's one of my pet peeves when someone breaks them.
Crystal’s Film Etiquette Guidelines

Do not talk constantly while shooting film.

Keep the camera very still. Do not move the camera from side to side, or up and down as this makes the viewers dizzy.

Take time to experiment and practice with the video camera, become acquainted with it.

Learn how to use any special options.

Consider arranging a trial dial-up conference.

Make a checklist of shots that need to be completed before the event ends.

Show interest in all the guests.

To avoid loss of picture quality, move in a fluid, non-distracting way.

Move and gesture normally, but avoid swaying, rocking, or pacing.
