Making Better Videos
Holding the camera
For maximum stability, place your right hand through the grip belt and keep
your right elbow pressed against your body. Rest your left hand lightly on the
side of the camera. With practice, you will be able to operate the controls by
touch, without taking your eye off the action.
Using a tripod
To prevent any unwanted movement, you can mount the camera on a tripod, and
operate it with the wireless controller.
Sound recording
For greater creative control, you can connect an external microphone to the
MIC terminal.

Composition
The most important element in the scene does not have to be in the center. For a
more interesting picture, try to position your subject so it is slightly to one side.
Leave some space on the side of the frame that the subject is facing or moving
towards.
Don’t cut off the top of the subject’s head, and don’t cut people off at the neck,
hips or knees (move a little bit above or below).
Watch out for distracting objects in the background.
