of k4 to k12 or higher, it is difficult to reduce
slight jitters by holding the Movie Camera with
hand. We recommend decreasing the zoom
magnification and approaching to the subject
when recording.

Camera firmly with your hands and keep arms
stationally to your side not to shake the Movie
Camera.

using a tripod and the Remote Controller.
