Standard holding style
For maximum stability, place your right hand through the side grip belt and keep your right elbow pressed against your body. Rest the rear of the camera against the front of your shoulder and then support the lens with your left hand.
Low-angle recording
Grip the camera using the top handle and steady the lens with the other hand.
Using a tripod
To prevent any unwanted movement, mount the camera on a tripod and operate it from the remote control.
•Be careful not to leave the viewfinder in bright sunlight or it may damage the LCD. (the light is concentrated by the viewfinder lens.) Either turn the EYE POINT SELECT switch to the FAR setting, or change the angle of the viewfinder to move it out of direct sunlight.
•Make sure the fastening screw of the tripod is no longer than 3/16 inch (5.5 mm), or it may damage the camera.
•Do not attach a tripod to the socket meant for the shoulder pad (the socket closest to the rear of the camera).
