Always try a reset to defaults before you call it in.
Hello there
Just recently, while filming anything that requires zooming in (mainly aircraft is what I'm using it for), I am getting a side-to-side violent shaking on the image. It is making the camcorder completely un-usable and completely ruining all footage. I don't use a tripod or anything, and I generally have a steady hand, so it's definately not me shaking (it still shakes when I put it on the floor and am not touching it). Please see the attached youtube link of the sort of film I am getting (some of it is over-zoomed just to emphasise the issue). Does anybody have any ideas as to the best course of action, or for any cures?
Any help would be very much appreciated!
Many thanks
Tom
