Hints for Better Shooting
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 [a].
• 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. Lift the viewfinder up for
recording from a low position [b].
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 stiU camera, you can cilso use it with the camcorder (p. 48).
If the camcorder is diiScult to balance on a tripod, use the supplied tripod adaptor. Attach the tripod
adaptor to the camcorder by tiuning the screw [c]. The adaptor has a screw hole for a tripod. Do not
leave the tripod adaptor on the camcorder if the camcorder is not mounted on a tripod.
When attaching a non-Sony tripod, make sure that the length of the tripod screw is less than
9/32 inches (6.5 mm). Otherwise, the screw may damage the inner parts of the camcorder.
Cautions on the viewfinder
• Do not pick up the camcorder by the viewfinder [d].
• Do not place the camcorder so as to point the viewfinder toward the sun. The inside of the viewfinder
may be deformed. Be careful when placing the camcorder under sunlight or by the window [e].
