Shooting Tips
Basic Way to Hold a Camcorder
~ Recording Stable Images ~
.
This is the standard way of shooting while standing up.
Be sure to master this basic technique in order to achieve stable images.
o
[Getting Ready]
A Open your feet to the width of your shoulders.
B Keep
the elbow of your right arm, which is holding the camcorder, close
to your side.
C Hold the LCD monitor with your left hand and adjust the angle
accordingly.
Extending Your Hands to Shoot
~ High-Angle Shooting ~
.

people.
o
[Getting Ready]
A Open your feet to the width of your shoulders.
B Extend your right hand and hold the camcorder over your head.
C Hold the LCD monitor with your left hand and adjust the angle
accordingly.
Caution :
0
Use this way of shooting only as a last resort as it is difficult to achieve
stable images.
0
Set to the wide angle as much as possible as the image will be prone to
camera shake.
0
Be considerate. Do not inconvenience the people around you.
Squatting and Shooting at Eye Level
.
Staying low is a common position to take when shooting small children.
By recording from the eye level of the child, you can capture all his cute
expressions clearly.
o
[Getting Ready]
A Kneel down with your left knee while keeping your right foot on the
ground.
B Place the elbow of your right arm, which is holding the camcorder, on
your right knee.
C Hold the LCD monitor with your left hand and adjust the angle
accordingly.
Panning
0
Refer
to the operating instructions found in the animation on the Detailed
User Guide.
Use this method to shoot a wide angle of view.
o
[Getting Ready]
A Shoot by rotating your body instead of moving your arms while keeping
the basic way of holding a camcorder as stated above.
B Stand facing the direction where the rotation will stop.
C Twist your upper body to the direction where recording will start.
D Press the start button and record for 2 seconds, then slowly twist back
your body to face the front.
Record for another 2 seconds while facing the front, then press the
stop button.
(The 90 degrees rotation should take about 5 seconds, giving the
feeling of a slow motion.)

Decorating the Tree and Preparing the Dinner
The decoration of tree and preparation of dinner are part of the joy of
Christmas. Be sure to record these happy family times!
o
Decorating the tree
.
A tree is the most important thing to bring out the mood of Christmas.
Simply the scene of all family members engaging in the decorating of a fir
tree with various colorful ornaments is full of the feeling of happiness.

After all preparations, it is finally the Christmas party itself.
Not
only should you record the candle-blowing scene, but also the smiles of
the family while being surrounded by good food, or even the father who is
slightly drunk from champagne!
Finding the Presents
.
For children, the greatest joy of Christmas is receiving presents the next
morning.
Their expression of delight when finding a present next to their pillow is a
recording opportunity not to be missed. Get ready to shoot before the
children wake up!

Wedding
Create an awesome wedding video for the bride and groom!
.
Discussing and Planning Before the Event
Before the day of the wedding reception, it is important to discuss with the
bride and groom about various details such as the order of the ceremony
and whether there are any entertainment programs or change of clothes.
By understanding the preferences of the bride and groom, you will be able
to shoot more appropriately.
o
Finding out the route of entrance
.
The highlight of a wedding reception is the entrance of the bride and groom.
Find
out which door they will enter from and the route they will take from the
person-in-charge of the wedding hall in advance. Set up the tripod at a place
where you can follow the couple using zoom without having to move around.
o
Number of times and timing of clothes-changing
Find out the timing of any changing of clothes so as to capture the scene well
when the bride and groom enter again.
You can also make use the time while the bride and groom are changing to
record comments of well wishes from the guests.
Finding the Right Angle to Capture Both Bride and Groom
.
The main characters of a wedding are of course the bride and groom. Record
their
expressions clearly during the toast, speech, entertainment programs,
and other scenes.
Another recommendation is to capture the face shots of the guests, then pan
towards the groom. Picture composition containing the crowd of guests only
lacks fun, so be sure to pay attention to the shooting angle and size.
Recording the Expressions and Comments of Guests
o
Setting the shot from eye level to chest level
.
You can record comments from the guest by going around asking, "Please
say a few words for the bride and groom".
This
can be done at the guests' waiting room, when the bride and groom are
changing, or during the entertainment programs.

Advanced Operation with Two Camcorders
If video-editing is to be done, record using two camcorders so that a video
with varying scenes can be created. You can try asking a close friend who
has a camcorder at home.
Set the borrowed camcorder on a tripod to focus on taking close-up shots
of the bride and groom. In this way, the other camcorder can be moved
around
to record other scenes, enabling an interesting video with changing
scenes to be created through editing and compilation.
As most people own at least a digital camera nowadays, even if you are really
unable to find an extra camcorder, inserting still pictures to the video at
various points is also a good way to add variety. Do give it a try!

Travel
Capture all the good times of your domestic or overseas trips!
.
Bringing the Necessary Equipment
The necessary things to bring on a trip depends on your traveling purpose
and the destination.
For overseas trips in particular, you have to think about what to bring in
accordance to the local conditions.
Here are some suggestions for your consideration.
o
Camcorder
Think about how many hours of shooting you will usually perform in a day.
Be sure to prepare enough recording medium especially for long overseas
trips.
If you are recording in SD cards, get ready the sufficient number of cards,
including some for backup.
o
Battery Pack
Prepare
a battery pack that is ready for double the expected recording time
in a day. For example, if you plan to record for 2 hours a day, prepare a
battery pack that is ready for 4 hours (actual recording time).
For a day trip, you can prepare a battery with low capacity but for a long trip,
do prepare a few batteries with high capacities.
o
AC Adapter
The JVC AC adapter supports voltages from 110 V to 240 V, and hence can
be used anywhere in the world.
Bring along the adapter if you are traveling for a long time. Charge the battery
pack while sleeping so that you can record with full battery power the next
day.
o
Power Plug Adapter
.
The shape of the power plug varies according to countries. Be sure to check
the shape of the power plug beforehand, and bring the appropriate power
plug adapter.
“Charging the Battery Pack Overseas” (A p. 71)
Useful Shooting Techniques

Page 9
o
Battery Charger
.
Recording cannot be performed when an AC adapter is connected to the
camcorder for battery charging.
You can bring an additional battery charger to charge battery packs if you
plan to use the camcorder for recording at night. You can also charge
multiple
battery packs by using both the battery charger and this camcorder
at the same time.
o
Tripod
.
A tripod is an essential item to take stable images. Select an appropriate
tripod in accordance to your purpose and style of traveling, such as a
compact one to be used on a table or one that is at least 1 m tall.
Recording the Excitement Before Departure
It may be a little abrupt to start your travel video at the destination suddenly.
Record
also the preparations prior to departure if it is a family trip, or the time
when everyone is gathered at the meeting place if you are traveling with your
friends.
For overseas trips, taking a shot of the signs and displays at the airport of
the flight you are taking may be useful for future reference.
.
.
Using Pan at the Places of Interest
Tourists spots with beautiful scenery or historical sites are places that you
would certainly want to record.
To capture the magnificence of a scene which cannot be fitted into a single
frame, try the panning technique.
Refer to “Shooting Tips” found in the “Beginner’s Guide” on this website on
how to use panning effectively.
In addition, you may also like to take a shot of the signs or monuments that
can often be found at the tourist spots.
.
.
Showing Everyone Having a Good Time
When taking a video, it is rather dull to shoot only the scenery or historical
sites.
Talk about your feelings while recording the breath-taking scenery of an
attraction so that it will be an interesting scene to view later.

Taking Videos or Still Images According to the Attraction
You may choose to take videos all the time. However, you may want to take
some still images too.
The
following section explains the scenarios suitable for taking videos or still
images.
o
Scenarios suitable for taking videos
.
Scenarios with changes in body movement are suitable for taking videos.
This
includes situations where there are rapid changes in facial expressions
or voices of surprise and delight.
*Some amusement parks do not allow passengers to perform any recording.
Be sure to check beforehand.
[Examples]
0
Merry-go-round, go kart, coffee cup, etc.
o
Scenarios suitable for taking still images (photos)
.
Scenarios with little movement of the subject are suitable for taking still
images.
Try
to take the still images from an angle such that the surroundings can be
seen clearly.
[Examples]
0
Carousal, ferris wheel, fun bicycle rides, etc.
Inducing Responses by Calling Out
.
Videos with no waving of hands nor laughter are not only dull when you view
them later, but also put the capability of the audio-recording function of the
camcorder to a waste.
When recording, induce more reactions by enthusiastically waving your
hands or shouting out "Is it fun?" and the like.
Capturing the Best Moment in a Video as a Still Image
Shots with the eyes closed are often taken by accident. To reduce such
mistakes, make use of the function to capture still images from videos.
As
videos are actually continuous recording of 60 still images within 1 minute,
using this function allows you to select the best moment and save it as a still
image.

Precautions on Using Wi-Fi
Cautions on Wi-Fi Function
0
Operation is not guaranteed on all devices.
0
This function is not designed for disaster or crime prevention.
0
To
prevent the situation of forgetting to turn off the power, this unit will turn
off automatically after 10 days of continuous usage.
0
Communication may not be carried out properly near radio equipment or
broadcasting stations. In this case, change the location accordingly.
0
Radio wave interference by Bluetooth devices
Bluetooth devices make use of the same frequency bandwidth (2.4 GHz)
as that of Wi-Fi devices. Using this product near such devices may cause
radio wave interference, and result in a drop in communication speed or
connection failure. In this case, turn off the power of devices that are not
in use.
0
Security of Wireless LAN
An advantage of wireless LAN is that instead of using a LAN cable, it
transmits information using radio waves, thus enabling LAN connection
to be established within the area covered by the radio waves. However,
as radio waves penetrate through objects (such as walls) within the range
that they cover, security issues, such as interception of transmission or
illegal access, may arise if security settings are not configured.
Before you connect to the network in a wireless LAN environment, read
through the instruction manual for the wireless LAN device in use, and
configure the security settings accordingly. Failure to do so may increase
the risk of personal information being intercepted, such as user names,
passwords, and the content of your mails, or illegal access to the network.
0
Due to the design of wireless LAN, note that security may be breached by
unusual or unforeseeable means.
0
For more details on wireless LAN and network security, please consult the
manufacturer of your wireless LAN device.
0
JVC shall not be liable for any security issues, troubles, damages or losses
arising from the use of this feature.
Radio Waves Used by this Product
This product makes use of radio waves in the ISM band (2.4 GHz).
Although
a radio station license is not required for using this product, please
take note of the following.
o
Do not use this product near the following places.
0
Industrial, scientific, or medical equipment, such as microwave ovens and
pacemakers
0
Specified low-power radio stations (radio station license not required)
0
Bluetooth devices
Equipment such as the above mentioned devices makes use of the same
frequency bandwidth as that of Wi-Fi.
Using this product near the above equipment may cause radio wave
interference, and result in communication failure or a drop in communication
speed.
o
Avoid using this product near a TV or radio set.
TV or radio sets make use of a radio wave frequency bandwidth that is
different from that of Wi-Fi, and therefore has no effect on communication
by this product or the TV/radio set.
However, when a TV/radio set is placed close to a Wi-Fi product,
electromagnetic waves emitted by the Wi-Fi product may cause noise to
occur in the sound or images of the TV/radio.
o
Radio signals are unable to penetrate through reinforced
steel, metal, or concrete.
The radio waves used by this product are unable to penetrate through
reinforced steel, metal, or concrete materials.
It may difficult for communication to be established if two rooms or floors are
separated by these materials.
*Communication may also get weaker when there are human subjects or
parts of the body in between the Wi-Fi devices.
o
Do not connect to wireless networks that you do not have
authorization for.
Once connected, it may be considered as unauthorized access and legal
actions can be taken against you.
