Shooting Tips
Basic Way to Hold a Camcorder
~ Recording Stable Images ~
■ [Getting Ready]
① Open your feet to the width of your shoulders.
② Extend your right hand and hold the camcorder over your head.
③ Hold the LCD monitor with your left hand and adjust the angle ac-
cordingly.
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]
① Open your feet to the width of your shoulders.
② Keep the elbow of your right arm, which is holding the camcorder,
close to your side.
③ Hold the LCD monitor with your left hand and adjust the angle ac-
cordingly.
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]
① Kneel down with your left knee while keeping your right foot on the
ground.
② Place the elbow of your right arm, which is holding the camcorder,
on your right knee.
③ Hold the LCD monitor with your left hand and adjust the angle ac-
cordingly.
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]
① Shoot by rotating your body instead of moving your arms while
keeping the basic way of holding a camcorder as stated above.
② Stand facing the direction where the rotation will stop.
③ Twist your upper body to the direction where recording will start.
④ 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!

Useful Shooting Techniques
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
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
■ <Camcorder 1>
Closing up on the bride and groom all the time
■ <Camcorder 2>
Recording the congratulatory messages from friends at
the same time
The main characters of a wedding are of course the bride and groom. Re-
.
cord 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
■ Setting the shot from eye level to chest level
If video-editing is to be done, record using two camcorders so that a vid-
.
eo 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!
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.

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.
■ 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 AdapterA P.18）
Useful Shooting Techniques
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.
■ Battery Charger

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.
.
Amusement Park
Take more shots of the smiling faces of everyone in the family!
.
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
.
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.
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.
.
Inducing Responses by Calling Out
8
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 Details" （A P.28）
■ <Without backlight compensation>
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.
