Basic camera positioning

1Hold the unit with both hands.

2Put your hand through the grip belt.

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.

Do not cover the microphones with your hand etc.

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.

Recording yourself

Rotate the LCD monitor towards the lens side.

≥ The image is horizontally flipped as if you see a mirror image. (However the image recorded is the same as a normal recording.)

≥ Only some indications will appear on the screen. When appears, return the direction of the LCD monitor to

normal position and check the warning/alarm indication. (l 78)

These models cater to both amateur videographers and more experienced users seeking a reliable device for capturing precious moments.

The models also support AVCHD and MP4 formats, providing users with flexible options for playback and sharing. The intuitive touchscreen interface simplifies navigation and settings adjustments, allowing users to focus on capturing their moments without getting bogged down by complex controls.

Another notable feature is the integrated Wi-Fi capability in models like the HC-V11M, which allows for effortless sharing of videos and photos to smartphones and tablets.

The HC-V10, HC-V11M, HC-V10K, and HC-V10M are designed with portability in mind, featuring a lightweight and compact body that fits easily into bags or pockets. This ensures that users can take their camcorder on the go without the burden of heavy equipment.
