Tips for Better Recording
Holding the Camcorder
For maximum stability, hold the camcorder firmly with your right hand and keep your right elbow pressed against your body. If necessary, support the camcorder with your left hand. Be careful that your fingers do not touch the microphone or lens.
For More Stability
Lean against a wall | Place the camcorder on a table |
Lie on your elbow | Use a tripod |
Kneel on one knee
Lighting
When recording outdoors, we recommend recording with the sun at your back.
When using a tripod, do not leave the viewfinder exposed to direct sunlight as it may melt (due to concentration of the light by the lens).
Do not use tripods with fastening screws longer than 5.5 mm. Doing so may damage the camcorder. The camcorder cannot be mounted on tripods with fixed (non- retractable) camera positioning pins.
