Hints for better shooting
Place the digital camcorder on a flat surface or use a tripod
Try placing the digital camcorder on a table top or any other flat surface of suitable
height. If you have a tripod for a still camera, you can also use it with the digital
camcorder.
When attaching a non-Sony tripod, make sure that the length of the tripod screw is less
than 6.5 mm. Otherwise, the screw may damage the inner parts of the digital
camcorder.
When you attach, maintain and tighten screw firmly to prevent this digital camcorder
falling over.
Caution on carrying
Do not pick up the digital camcorder by anything other than the grip or handle [h].
Caution on the viewfinder
Do not place the digital camcorder so as to point the viewfinder toward the sun. The
inside of the viewfinder may be damaged.
Be careful when placing the digital camcorder under sunlight or by a window [i].
