Shooting Tips
Basic Way to Hold a Camcorder
~ Recording Stable Images ~
This is the standard way of shooting while standing up.
Be sure to master this basic technique in order to achieve stable images.
■ [Getting Ready]
① Open your feet to the width of your shoulders.
② Keep the elbow of your right arm, which is holding the camcorder,
close to your side.
③ Hold the LCD monitor with your left hand and adjust the angle ac-
cordingly.
Extending Your Hands to Shoot
~ High-Angle Shooting ~
4
Extend your hand when your subject is being hidden behind a crowd of
people.
■ [Getting Ready]
① Open your feet to the width of your shoulders.
② Extend your right hand and hold the camcorder over your head.
③ Hold the LCD monitor with your left hand and adjust the angle ac-
cordingly.
CAUTION:
Use this way of shooting only as a last resort as it is difficult to achieve
stable images.
Set to the wide angle as much as possible as the image will be prone
to camera shake.
Be considerate. Do not inconvenience the people around you.
Squatting and Shooting at Eye Level
Staying low is a common position to take when shooting small children.
By recording from the eye level of the child, you can capture all his cute
expressions clearly.
■ [Getting Ready]
① Kneel down with your left knee while keeping your right foot on the
ground.
② Place the elbow of your right arm, which is holding the camcorder,
on your right knee.
③ Hold the LCD monitor with your left hand and adjust the angle ac-
cordingly.
Panning
Refer to the operating instructions found in the animation on the De-
tailed User Guide.
Use this method to shoot a wide angle of view.
■ [Getting Ready]
Shoot by rotating your body instead of moving your arms while keeping
the basic way of holding a camcorder as stated above.
① Stand facing the direction where the rotation will stop.
② Twist your upper body to the direction where recording will start.
③ Press the start button and record for 2 seconds, then slowly twist
back your body to face the front.
Record for another 2 seconds while facing the front, then press the
stop button.
(The 90 degrees rotation should take about 5 seconds, giving the
feeling of a slow motion.)
