Basic Way to Hold a Camcorder

~ Recording Stable Images ~
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.

① Kneel down with your left knee while keeping your right foot on the

This is the standard way of shooting while standing up.

Use this method to shoot a wide angle of view.
Extending Your Hands to Shoot
~ High-Angle Shooting ~ ■ [Getting Ready]
Shoot by rotating your body instead of moving your arms while keeping
the basic way of holding a camcorder as stated above.
① Stand facing the direction where the rotation will stop.
② Twist your upper body to the direction where recording will start.
③ 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.

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

Speech
Create an awesome wedding video for the bride and groom!
The climax of the event finally comes during the bride and groom's thank
you speech and presentation of flowers. The touching words of apprecia-
tion 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

Before the day of the wedding reception, it is important to discuss with Recording the congratulatory messages from friends at
the bride and groom about various details such as the order of the cere- the same time
mony 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
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 chang-
ing scenes to be created through editing and compilation.
As most people own at least a digital camera nowadays, even if you are

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
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 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

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 sin-
gle 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 histori-
cal 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.

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 mi-

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 un-
der shadows can be captured brightly and clearly.
