Tips for Making Better Videos
For maximum stability, grip the camera in your right hand and keep your right
elbow pressed against your body.
If necessary support the camera with your left hand. With practice, you will be
able to operate the controls by touch, without taking your eye off the action.
Holding the camera
Using a tripod
Sound recording
MIC
To prevent any unwanted movement, you can mount the camera on a tripod, (or
any flat surface at a suitable height) and operate it with the wireless controller.
• When you are using a tripod, be careful not to leave the viewfinder exposed to
bright sunlight or it may melt. (The light is concentrated by the viewfinder
lens.) Change the angle of the viewfinder so that the sun doesn’t shine into it.
• Make sure that the fastening screw of the tripod is no longer than 1/4 inch
(5.5 mm), or it will damage the camera.
For greater creative control, you can connect an external microphone to the MIC
terminal.
We recommend a microphone with a built-in power supply (condenser
microphone).
It is possible to connect almost any stereo microphone with a plug diameter of
3.5 mm.
• Use the microphone attenuator with the built-in or an external microphone if
you need to lower the volume level of the input audio. Monitor the level of the
input sound with headphones and if necessary, turn the attenuator on through
the menu by selecting MIC ATT and setting it to ON.
