Tips for Stable Image Shooting

While recording, it is very important to hold the camcorder correctly.

To avoid the risk of the lens cap appearing in your shot, always clip it onto the hand strap. (refer to figure)

Recording with the Viewfinder

1.Hold the camcorder firmly with the hand strap. (see page 16)

2.Place your right elbow against your side.

3.Place your left hand under the camcorder to support it. Be sure to not touch the built-in microphone.

4.Choose a comfortable, stable position for the shots.

You can lean against a wall or on a table for greater stability. Do not forget to breathe gently.

5.Put your eye firmly against the eyepiece.

6.Use the viewfinder frame as a guide to determine the horizontal plane.

7.Whenever possible, use a tripod.
