Assume a good posture for shooting (W-l)
For hand-held shots, it is important to hold the
camcorder properly.
• Hold the camcorder firmly and secure it with
the grip strap so that you can easily manipulate
the camcorder with your thumb.
• Place you right elbow against your side.
• Place your left hand under the camcorder to
support it. When adjusting the focus manually,
make sure the camcorder does not move.
• Place your eye firmly against the viewfinder
eyecup.
Use a tripod
If you have a tripod for a still camera, it can also
be used with the camcorder. If a tripod is not
available, try placing the camcorder on a table top
or any other flat surface of suitable height.
Keep the horizontal plane level (W-2)
The horizontal plane can be easily determined by
using the viewfinder frame as a reference.
