To record still pictures clearly
≥When zooming in on the subject with a
magnification of 4k or higher, it is difficult to
reduce the slight shaking from holding the

decreasing the zoom magnification and
approaching the subject when recording.
≥When recording still pictures, hold the
Camcorder firmly with your hands and keep
your arms stationary at your side so as not to
shake the Camcorder.
≥You can record stable pictures without shaking
by using a tripod and the remote control.

on a card, refer to
