Tips for Better Recording

Holding the Camcorder
For maximum stability, grip the camcorder in your right hand and keep your
right elbow pressed against your body. If necessary, support the camcorder
with your left hand. Be careful that your fingers do not touch the microphone
or lens.
For More Stability
Lean against a wall
Lie on your elbow
Lighting
When recording outdoors, we
recommend recording with the sun at
your back.
When using a tripod, do not leave the viewfinder exposed to direct sunlight as it
may melt (due to concentration of the light by the lens).
