Before recording

Basic camera positioning

Example 1:

Grip the unit with the forefinger of your right hand above the lens and the middle finger to little finger surrounding the body.

Example 2:

Grip the unit with the forefinger to little finger of your right hand surrounding the body.

To avoid dropping the unit, be sure to attach a handstrap.

When recording, make sure your footing is stable and there is no danger of colliding with another person or object.

When you are outdoors, record pictures with the sunlight behind you. If the subject is backlit, it will become dark in the recording.

Keep your arms near your body and separate your legs for better balance.

When performing zoom operations, you can prevent the jitter associated with zoom operations by placing your other hand on the LCD monitor to stabilize the unit.

Ensure that the lens and flash are not obstructed by your fingers or the handstrap. Also, ensure that your hand is not blocking the microphones on the LCD monitor.

Basic motion picture recording

The unit should normally be held steady when recording.

If you move the unit when recording, do so slowly, maintaining a constant speed.

The zoom operation is useful for recording subjects you cannot get close to, but overuse of zoom in and zoom out can make the resulting motion picture less enjoyable to watch.
