provides the best stability.
Place the eye firmly against the viewfinder eyecup.
e For hand-held shots, put the camera on your shoulder
and assume a comfortable, stable position. Make sure
the camera does not move.
e Relax your shoulders.
Use a tripod or monopod if possible
Use a sturdy one.
If a tripod is not available, try placing the camera on a
tabletop, wall, or any other flat surface of suitable height.

stabilize the camera.
¢ |f you are going to move the unit while recording, keep
both eyes open as much as possible.

Leaning against something firm such as a wall or tee
will also provide extra stability.

Even if camera work is smooth and stable, shots canbe
tilted or off axis horizontally.
The horizontal plane can be easily determined by using
the viewfinder frame as a reference.
