the following suggestions:

manipulate the controls with your thumb.
• Place your right elbow against your side.
lace 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.

Place the camcorder on a flat surface or use a tripod
Try placing the camcorder on s table lop 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. 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, you cannot attach the tripod securely and the screw
may damage the camcorder.
