Hints for better shooting

When shooting with the digital camcorder on your shoulder, you'll get better results by
holding the digital camcorder according to the following suggestions:
•Place the digital camcorder on your shoulder and secure it with the grip strap so that
you can easily manipulate the controls with your thumb.
•To adjust the grip, loosen the grip screw [a] with a coin, rotate the grip, and then
tighten the screw. Set the grip to one of the three different position marks.

•Place your right elbow against your side.
•Place your left hand under the digital camcorder to support it. Be sure to not touch the
built-in microphone.
•Place your eye firmly against the viewfinder eyecup.
•Use the viewfinder frame as a guide to determine the horizontal plane.
•You can also record in a low position to get an interesting angle. Lift the viewfinder
up for recording from a low position [b].
•While recording in a low position, you can use the front START/STOP button [c].
•You can rotate the viewfinder 120° up and 90° down. This is useful when recording in
a high or low position [d].
