%To record still pictures clearly
$When zooming in on the subject with a
magnification of*49 to 109 or higher, it is
difficult to reduce the slight shaking from holding
the movie camera by hand. We recommend
decreasing the zoom magnification and
approaching the subject when recording.
$When recording still pictures, hold the movie
camera firmly with your hands and keep your
arms stationary at your side so as not to shake
the movie camera.
$You can record stable pictures without shaking
by using a tripod and the remote control.
