Page 7: Powering Your Camcorder
Powering Your Camcorder Before operating your camera, you will need to use the power adapter to: Provide power from an AC outlet Charge a battery pack Notes: • The power adapter converts current from a household power socket (100–240 V AC, 50/60 Hz) to the DC current used by your camera.
Page 8 Charging and attaching the battery pack Your battery pack was partially charged before it left the factory. It should have enough power for you to check that your camera is working properly. However, you must charge the battery pack fully if you want it to power the camera for more than a few minutes.

Page 23: Tips For Making Better Videos
Tips for Making Better Videos Holding the camera For maximum stability, grip the camera firmly with your right hand and keep your right elbow pressed against your body. Support the camera under the lens with your left hand. With practice, you will be able to operate the controls by touch, without taking your eye off the action.
Page 24 Picture angle Instead of zooming while recording, try to choose your picture angle before you begin. A good way to tell a story with video is to begin with a long shot that establishes the situation, and then move in with medium shots and close-ups to show the details.
Page 25: Turning The Optical Image Stabilizer On/Off
Turning the Optical Image Stabilizer On/Off With most camcorders, even the slightest hand movements will be noticeable during telephoto recording. However, the VISTURA’s Optical Image Stabilizer allows you to obtain steady recordings even at 16 or 64 magnification. Unlike electronic image stabilizers, it causes no loss of picture quality. The Optical Image Stabilizer can compensate for a wide range of camera movement —...
