Hints for better shooting
[a]
[b]
For hand-held shots, you’ll get better results by holding the camcorder according to the
following suggestions:
•Hold the camcorder firmly and secure it with the grip strap so that you can easily
manipulate the controls with your thumb.
•Place your right elbow against your side.
•Place your left hand under the camcorder to support it. Be sure to not touch the built-
in microphone.
•Place your eye firmly against the viewfinder eyecup.
•Use the viewfinder frame as a guide to determine the horizontal plane.
•You can also record in a low position to get an interesting angle. Lift the viewfinder
up for recording from a low position [a].
•You can also record in a low position or even in a high position using the LCD panel
[b].
•When you use the LCD screen outdoors in direct sunlight, the LCD screen may be
difficult to see. If this happens, we recommend that you use the viewfinder.
