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 Backlight Compensation or correct
the iris value to improve the picture (see
pages 35 and 60).
• 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.
Light from behind
Backlighting
• 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.
Mini DV Cassette
Precautions when using a Mini DV
cassette
• Be sure to use only Mini DV cassettes with
the
i
mark.
• This camcorder can record and play back
using Mini DV cassettes with cassette
memory, but it cannot record or play back
this memory.
• To record in LP mode, use a Mini DV
cassette labelled for use with LP mode.
• Do not insert anything into the holes on the
bottom of the Mini DV cassette or block
them in any way.
• Avoid placing the Mini DV cassette in
areas conducive to dust or mold.
• Do not place the Mini DV cassette near
magnetic sources such as electric clocks
or magnetic devices as this may adversely
affect recorded material.
