Tips for Making Better Videos

Holding the Camcorder

For maximum stability, grip the camcorder in 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.

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 as it may damage the camcorder. The camcorder cannot be mounted on tripods with fixed (non-retractable) camera positioning pins.
