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 9⁄32 inch (6.5 mm). Otherwise, you cannot attach the tripod securely and the screw
may damage the camcorder.
Cautions on the viewfinder
Do not pick up the camcorder by the viewfinder [c].
Do not place the camcorder so as to point the viewfinder toward the sun. The inside
of the viewfinder may be damaged. Be careful when placing the camcorder under
sunlight or by a window [d].

Hints for better shooting
[a] [b]
For hand-held shots, you’ll get better results by holding the camcorder according to the
following suggestions:
Hold the camcorder firmly and secure it with the grip strap so that you can easily
manipulate the controls with your thumb [a].
Place your right elbow against your side.
Place your left hand under the camcorder to support it. Be sure to not touch the built-
in microphone.
Place your eye firmly against the viewfinder eyecup.
Use the viewfinder frame as a guide to determine the horizontal plane.
You can also record in a low position to get an interesting angle. Lift the viewfinder
up for recording from a low position [b].
