Others To record still pictures clearly •When zooming to the subject with magnification of x4 to x 12 or higher, it is difficult to reduce slight jitters by holding the Movie Camera with hand. We recommend decreasing the zoom magnification and approaching to the subject when recording. • When recording still pictures, hold the Movie Camera firmly with your hands and keep arms stationally to your side not to shake the Movie Camera. •You can record stable pictures without jitters using a tripod and the Remote Controller.
