Stabilizing Your Picture
Try these tips to improve the image:
– Look for a place to sit down and take your video.
– Look for something you can set your camera on.
Zooming – Consider using a tripod or a monopod to further steady your video.
Camera Movement
(Wide angle) (Telephoto)

movement:
– Treat all movements as a special effect.
Press to Start Recording
– If you must move the camera, do it slowly.
• Press again to Stop Recording.
Zooming
As a general rule, your video will look better if you zoom the lens before you start your
recording:
– Focus on the subject first, then begin recording.
– If you must zoom during a recording, treat it as a special effect and zoom slowly.
Exposure
– Remember to shoot with the sun or the primary light source behind you.
– Keeping the range of contrast in your scene to a reasonable level is the easiest way to
improve the picture quality.
– Pay special attention to objects in the LCD screen that appear very washed out or over
exposed.
Press halfway to focus
