Make a video recording of your home and contents to store in a safe place in case of fire or theft.

Practice recording under a variety of lighting

conditions. This will help you respond quickly.

Do not move the camcorder rapidly from side-to-

side while recording. A steady, gradual "pan" avoids blurring and "jitter".

Use the viewfinder to make sure the camcorder is

level while recording or the scenes will appear "tilted".

Do not bump or tap the camcorder's microphone while recording because this sound will be recorded.

Be aware of video and audio backgrounds. Background details barely noticed while you are taping may show up as visual "clutter". Background noises (especially TV sets, radios, household appliances, traffic sounds, etc.) can detract from the sound you want to record.

Check the focus before you start recording. Use

your camcorder's zoom to help you focus

manually. Zoom in on your subject and adjust the focus until you see a clear image in the viewfinder. Then zoom back to where you want to record. If

the subject-to-camcorder distance does not change, the subject will remain in sharp focus over the entire zoom range.

Avoid long "still" shots of landmarks and scenic

attractions. Recordings are more interesting if they include people and details. "Local color" gives travel videos lasting appeal. Consider recording a familiar or landmark scene from an unfamiliar vantage point for added interest. Check the lighting before starting to record.

Try to make sure indoor scenes are well-lit. This improves picture quality and color reproduction.

Include close-up shots of individuals when taping family outings or group functions.

Holding The Camcorder

To film at different angles, raise the viewfinder 90 °.

Standing against a wall may give your recordings more stability.

Use an optional tripod or monopod for stable images.

Hold the camcorder horizontally. Keep your feet slightly apart and upper arms close to your body.

When possible, rest your elbows on a table or other stable surface to help keep the camcorder steady.

Traveling Tips

Write down your camcorder's serial number and keep it separate from the camcorder when traveling. If your camcorder is lost or stolen, you will be able to identify it.

Use extra care to avoid damage to your camcorder and accessories when operating them at a beach or pool. Spray, sand, and dust should be avoided. If your lens has been exposed to the elements, clean it only with proper lens cleaning supplies.

Carry your camcorder in a carrying case when traveling. See page 4 for a case especially

designed for this camcorder. An ordinary suitcase or carry bag does not offer the protection your camcorder needs. Treat your camcorder as carry- on luggage to protect it from rough handling.

Make sure you have any plug adapters you may need before taking your camcorder to other countries. Consult your RCA dealer for advice.
