Tips On Recording Positions - Sharp VL-E71E Operation Manual

Camera Recording
The rotating LCD monitor screen lets you enjoy easy
video recording in relaxed postures.
l
You can record using more natural body postures
since you can see the subject on-screen, without
having to hold the VIEWCAM against your eye.
l
The LCD monitor screen also makes high-angle
and low-angle shots easy.
l
In hand-held recording, the VIEWCAM has to be
steadied to prevent image shake.
l
Use a tripod for very stable recording.
Basic Recording Positions
Put the fingers of your right hand through the hand
strap, and position your right thumb close to the
REC START/STOP and Power Zoom buttons. Place
your left thumb in the indentation on the left side of
the LCD monitor
screen.
Take care not to touch the monitor screen with your
fingers, as perspiration and dirt will smudge it.
Unless you intend to create a special effect, keep
the VIEWCAM level with the horizontal plane.
Take care not to touch the microphone with your
fingers when the VIEWCAM is recording. It will
cause noise on the audio track. *
