Place the camcorder on a flat surface or use a tripod
Try placing the camcorder on a table top or any other flat surface of suitable height. If
you have a tripod for a still camera, you can also use it with the camcorder.
When attaching a non-Sony tripod, make sure that the length of the tripod screw is less
than 6.5 mm (9/32 inch). Otherwise, you cannot attach the tripod securely and the
screw may damage the camcorder.
