Useful Information
Hints for Better Shooting
• Position the subject in the centre of the
scene. When using auto focus, whatever is in
the centre of the scene is kept in focus.
• Avoid backlit subjects. For the best picture,
shoot with the light source behind you.
When the background is brighter than the
subject, the subject often becomes too dark.
If you have to record in this lighting, use
Gamma Brightness Compensation or correct
the iris value to improve the picture (see
pages 28 and 49).
• Before zooming, think about how to best
frame the shot. Frequent zooming produces
unattractive pictures. It also runs down the
battery more quickly.
• When image shaking is noticeable during
zoomed-in telephoto shooting, use a tripod or
push the Power Zoom control to the W side to
zoom out.
• 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 scenes easy to watch during playback.
• Use a wide-angle setting for fast-moving
subjects.
Note:
• It may take longer to focus when zooming and
panning are used frequently.
