Shooting Tips

Basic Way to Hold a Camcorder ~ Recording Stable Images ~

[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 :

Use this way of shooting only as a last resort as it is difficult to achieve

stable images. Set to the wide angle as much as possible as the image will be prone to

camera shake. Be considerate. Do not inconvenience the people around you.

Squatting and Shooting at Eye Level

This is the standard way of shooting while standing up. Be sure to master this basic technique in order to achieve stable images.

[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 ~

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.

[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

Refer to the operating instructions found in the animation on the Detailed

User Guide.

Use this method to shoot a wide angle of view.

[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.)

Extend your hand when your subject is being hidden behind a crowd of people.

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!

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

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.

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!

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.

Finding the Right Angle to Capture Both Bride and Groom

Composing the picture with the guests in front and the

bride and groom 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.

Closing Up on the Bride's Face During the Thank You Speech

The climax of the event finally comes during the bride and groom's thank you speech and presentation of flowers. The touching words of appreciation from the bride and tears of joy from the parents are scenes that must not be missed. Start by closing up on the bride's face using zoom. As the tears start to form in the bride's eyes, continue shooting for a little longer. Then, slowly zoom out to the wide angle to show the parents who are moved by the speech.

Advanced Operation with Two Camcorders

Closing up on the bride and groom all the time

Recording the congratulatory messages from friends at the same time

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!

Recording the Expressions and Comments of Guests

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.

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.

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.

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.

AC Adapter

The JVC AC adapter supports voltages from 100 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.

Power Plug Adapter

(A p. 16)

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.

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.

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 the "Shooting Tips" found in 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.

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 in the Video during Playback” (A p. 54)

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]

Merry-go-round, go kart, coffee cup, etc.

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]

Carousal, ferris wheel, fun bicycle rides, etc.

Useful Shooting Techniques

Advanced Operation with Backlight Compensation

It is useful to make use of backlight compensation when the subject's face is in backlight or when the expression cannot be seen clearly. Increase the brightness of the whole image by setting “BACKLIGHT COMP.” if the faces appear too dark. Even the expressions of faces under shadows can be captured brightly and clearly. “Setting Backlight Compensation” (A p. 28)
