Tips on Recording Positions

The rotating LCD monitor screen lets you enjoy easy
video recording in relaxed postures.
You can record using more natural body postures
since you can see the subject on-screen, without
having to hold the Camcorder against your eye.
The LCD monitor screen also makes high-angle
and low-angle shots easy.
In hand-held recording, the Camcorder has to be
steadied to prevent image shake.
Use a tripod for very stable recording.
Basic Recording Positions
Put the fingers of your right hand through the hand
strap, and position your right thumb close to the
REC START/STOP and Power Zoom buttons. Place
your left thumb in the indentation on the left side of
the LCD monitor screen.
Notes
Take care not to touch the monitor screen with your
fingers, as perspiration and dirt will smudge it.
Unless you intend to create a special effect, keep
the Camcorder level with the horizontal plane.
Take care not to touch the microphone with your
fingers when the Camcorder is recording. It will
cause noise on the audio track.

Basic Posture
Position your feet
at a 45° angle and
take a firm stance.
High Angle
You can record
and still view the
monitor screen.
This is convenient
when you want to
record over a
crowd.
Low Angle
When kneeling, put
one knee on the
ground for the best
stability.
Prone
Rest on both
elbows to
stabilize the
Camcorder.
Look at the
monitor screen
with both eyes.
Press your
elbows against
your sides.
