Hints for Stable Image Recording

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

Fix the LENS cap firmly by clipping it to the hand strap. (refer to the figure)

Recording with the LCD monitor

1.Hold the camcorder firmly using the hand strap.

2.Place your right elbow against your side.

3.Place your left hand under or beside the LCD to support and adjust it. Do not touch the built-in microphone.

4.Choose a comfortable, stable position for the shots that you are taking. You can lean against a wall or on a table for greater stability.

Do not forget to breathe gently.

5.Use the LCD frame as a guide to determine the horizontal plane.

6.Whenever possible, use a tripod.

Recording with the Viewfinder

1.Hold the camcorder firmly using the hand strap.

2.Place your right elbow against your side.

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

4.Choose a comfortable, stable position for the shots that you are taking. You can lean against a wall or on a table for greater stability.

Do not forget to breathe gently.
