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.
o
Preparing the Dinner
.
Record the scenes as everyone helps to prepare the feast of the night. You can film the mother who is cooking, the children who are helping, and of course, the process of making a cake!

Recording the Christmas Party
.
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

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
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!
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
o
Composing the picture with the groom in front and the guests at the back
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.

Useful Shooting Techniques
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!

Useful Shooting Techniques
.
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 three times 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 6 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
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.
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. 23)

Useful Shooting Techniques
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
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. “Capturing a Still Image from One Scene in Video” (A p. 71)
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.

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.

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.
o
Do not use the Wi-Fi function outside the country of purchase.
Depending on the country, there may be restrictions on the use of radio waves and any violations could be punishable by law.
