Tips on Recording Positions
The rotating LCD monitor screen lets you enjoy easy
video recording in relaxed postures.
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.
The LCD monitor screen also makes high-angle
and low-angle shots easy.
In hand-held recording, the VIEWCAM has to be
steadied to prevent image shake.
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 button and Power Zoom
lever.
Place your left thumb in
the
indentation on the left
side of the LCD monitor screen.
