Golf Swing Analysis Guide
Using the Camera to Analyze a Golf Swing
You can use the High Speed
Movie and other advanced
recording features of this camera
to shoot a golf swing and then
insert lines into the image to
analyze the swing. You can
analyze your swing from the front
(face on) or from behind.
Your camera includes a variety of features that make it easy to record and analyze
golf swings. The following five BEST SHOT scenes are available for golf swing
recording.

. Golf Swing Shooting Precautions
• Use a tripod that is set up so the camera is level and about waist high.
• Compose the image so the club head remains within the frame during the entire
swing.
• When shooting from the front (face on), set up the camera so it is waist high to the
golfer with the golfer’s body in the center of the monitor image.
IMPORTANT!
• Before shooting, carefully check the surrounding area to ensure that there is no
danger or anyone or anything being hit by the golf club or ball.
• You can use an AV cable to connect the camera to a TV and view the image on the
TV screen as you record. Real-time monitoring of the record image with an HDMI
cable connection is not supported.
