To record still pictures clearly
•When zooming in on the subject with a magnification of 4× to 10× or higher, it is difficult to reduce the slight hand shaking from holding the Camcorder. We recommend decreasing the zoom magnification and approaching the subject when recording.
•When recording still pictures, hold the Camcorder firmly with your hands and keep your arms stationary at your side so as not to shake the Camcorder.
•You can record stable pictures without hand shaking by using a tripod.
