To record still pictures clearly
• When zooming in on the subject with a magnification
of 4× to 10× or higher, it is difficult to reduce the
slight hand shaking from holding the Camcorder. We
recommend decreasing the zoom magnification and
approaching the subject when recording.
• When recording still pictures, hold the Camcorder
firmly with your hands and keep your arms stationary
at your side so as not to shake the Camcorder.
• You can record stable pictures without hand shaking
by using a tripod and the Remote Control. (PV-GS35
only)
