•The VIEWCAM is unable to focus when zooming in on subjects within 5 feet (1.5 m). The VIEWCAM will automatically zoom out until it is able to focus on the subject. (See page 32 for recording macro shots.)
Tips on Recording Positions
The rotating LCD monitor screen lets you enjoy easy video recording in a more relaxed posture without having to hold the VIEWCAM up to your eye. The LCD monitor also makes it easier to record
Holding the VIEWCAM
Put the fingers of your right hand through the hand strap, and place your right thumb close to the REC START/STOP button and Power Zoom control.
Place your left thumb on the thumb rest on the left side of the LCD monitor.
Basic Posture
Press your elbows against your sides.
Place your feet at a 45° angle and balance your weight on both legs.
High Angle
You can record while still viewing the screen. This is convenient when you want to record over a crowd.
Low Angle
Put one knee on the ground for the best 
stability.
