Hints for better Shooting
Position
the subject
in the
centre of the screen.
l
When you are using auto
focus, whatever is in the
centre of the screen is kept in focus.
Position the subject in
the centre.
Focus manually when
you need to position
the subject off centre
(see page 21).
l
Avoid backlit subjects. For the best picture, the
light source should be located behind the
VIEWCAM.
l
When the background is brighter than the subject,
the subject often becomes too dark. If you need to
record under such conditions,
use the backlight
compensation
(BLC) function to improve the
picture (see page 22).

More hints for shooting better videos
Before zooming, think about how to frame the shot
best. Stop zooming
when the shot is well framed.
When image shake is noticeable during zoomed-in
telephoto shooting, use a tripod, or push the Power
Zoom lever to the direction of W (wide angle) to
zoom out. Screw the tripod into the tripod socket
on the bottom of the VIEWCAM.
Horizontal panning (lateral movement) and tilting
(vertical movement) should be done slowly to
emphasize the wide expanse of a scene or the
height of a building, and to make them easy to
watch on playback.
Use wide-angle settings for fast-moving subjects.
w
It may take longer to focus when zooming
and panning are used frequently.
Optical Picture Control
This function automatically causes the LCD's
backlight to become brighter for easier viewing when
recording outdoors.
w
Outdoor recording depletes battery pack
power more quickly than indoor recording.
