Hints for Better Shooting For hand-held shots, you'll get better results by holding the camcorder according to the following suggestions: 0 ij • Hold the camcorder firmly and secure it with the grip strap so that you can easily manipulate the controls with your thumb. Cal • Place your right elbow against your side. • Place your left hand under the camcorder to support it. • 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 recording angle. Turn the viewfinder up for recording from a low position. DA Place the camcorder on a flat surface or use a tripod Try placing the camcorder on a table top or any other flat surface of suitable height. If you have a tripod for a still camera, you can also use it with the camcorder (p. 38). Make sure the tripod screw is shorter than 9/32 in (6.5 mm). Cautions on the viewfinder • Do not pick up the camcorder by the viewfinder. [c] • Do not place the camcorder so as to point the viewfinder toward the sun. The inside of the viewfinder heats up and may be deformed. (dl
