Shooting Tips

Basic Way to Hold a Camcorder ~ Recording Stable Images ~

Beginner’s Guide

[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.

Useful Shooting Techniques

Holiday Season/Christmas

Record the happy Christmas celebration with your family!

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!

Decorating the tree

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

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 out the route of entrance

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.

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.

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

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.

Useful Shooting Techniques

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.

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 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.

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)

Tripod

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.

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.

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.

Useful Shooting Techniques

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

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. 127)

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.

Advanced Operation with Backlight Compensation

When the subject’s face is in backlight or when the expression cannot be seen clearly, the Intelligent Auto function of this unit automatically increases its brightness for recording. If Intelligent Auto fails to function as expected or if the brightness correction is insufficient, you can increase the brightness by using backlight compensation in the Manual mode. “Setting Details” (A p. 87)

Precautions on Using Wi-Fi

Cautions on Wi-Fi Function

Operation is not guaranteed on all devices.

This function is not designed for disaster or crime prevention.

To prevent the situation of forgetting to turn off the power, this unit will turn off automatically after 10 days of continuous usage.

Communication may not be carried out properly near radio equipment or broadcasting stations. In this case, change the location accordingly.

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.

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.

Due to the design of wireless LAN, note that security may be breached by unusual or unforeseeable means.

For more details on wireless LAN and network security, please consult the manufacturer of your wireless LAN device.

JVC shall not be liable for any security issues, troubles, damages or losses arising from the use of this feature.

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.

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.

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.

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.
