Shooting Stable Pictures
Assume a good posture for shooting (R-1)
For hand-held shots, it is important to hold the
camcorder properly.
© Hold the camcorder firmly and secure it with
the grip strap so that you can easily
manipulate the camcorder with your thumb.
* Place your right elbow against your side.
Place your left hand under the camcorder to
support it. When adjusting the focus
manually, make sure the camcorder does
not move.
* Place your eye firmly against the viewfinder
eyecup.
Use a tripod
If you have a tripod for a still camera, it can
also be used with the camcorder. If a tripod is
not available, try placing the camcorder on a
table top or any other flat surface of suitable
height.
Keep the horizontal plane level (R-2)
The horizontal plane can be easily determined
by using the viewfinder frame as a reference.
Planning Beforehand
If you are going to edit the tape after
recording
Shoot the scene a little longer to make the
editing easier.
If you are not going to edit the tape after
recording
First record a title and then use the
START/STOP button to make a smooth
recording.
