To record still pictures clearly
• When zooming in on the subject with a
magnification of 4× to 10× or higher, it is difficult
to reduce the slight hand shaking from holding the
Camcorder. We recommend decreasing the zoom
magnification and approaching the subject when
recording.
• When recording still pictures, hold the Camcorder
firmly with your hands and keep your arms
stationary at your side so as not to shake the
Camcorder.
• You can record stable pictures without hand
shaking by using a tripod and the Remote Control.
