How can you position the camera effectively??

We put a small screw in the wall above the crib where the camera was right up against the ceiling. I guess that's 9 ft? We had it high enough so we could see a full view of the crib and use the "zoom" (magnify) to get a closer look when needed.

Yes, I have it on the wall high looking down across a door opening. Works great

This I understand for I have the same problem on a bright sunny day and the way I compensate is by tilting the top of the viewer down some and raise the camera and look up into the viewer and it lets me see good enough to keep the camera on the subject I am filming. hope this help . some times I just get out there and try different ways to overcome these flaws .

Put the camera in rapid fire, manual focus, out the trigger in bulb... hit it once and the shutter will stay engaged.That might work.

This camera has a very cheap ball mount. It pivots around but it's not great. The camera itself works amazingly well though. You may need to position it and use some tape to keep it at the exact spot you want.

The camera inside the casing can move up and down only. So you can point it anywhere between the ceiling or floor. The only way to move the camera from side to side is to move the external case the direction you want. Hope this helps.

I had to think about for awhile and tried a few different positions. It's really quite simple. Just set the part that connects to your camera into the front of the lower section that is connected to your tripod. then simply push down on the back side which will depress the spring and small silver button. This will throw the release arm into place.

No problem with the camera, However, you would have to position the device so that the camera is where you want it.

I just perchased the H20. I'm use to having a view finder. I thought there may be a way torig some kind of sighting device. The camera already has a means of sighting in. Looking fromthe rear of the camera, there is an elbow formed to the left side of the flash "hump". If youbracket your subject in this elbow it'll pretty much end up dead center of your shot. Hey, it'snot hi-tech but the method works.

May need to relocate it to a position where "lines" are not in view of the camera.... Otherwise, lines shouldn't be showing up in screen or recorded video...

Here are some tips: (1) try to get better lighting - low light is not easy to work with (2) don't zoom in if you don't have to, just get closer to the subject(3) follow the subject while you shoot if possible(4) use auto mode if in doubt (5) hold the camera with only your right hand, use your left hand to hold the wrist of your right hand to better stabilize your right hand and limit hand movement (6) do a half-press on the shutter release to let the camera focus before the shot, then when you're ready to take the shot, fully press it and it will already be in focus.

There is no way to focus camera. Check your cables to make sure there connected well. Also the better the TV or monitor you have . The better the picture .

I believe that for the camera to work correctly, it needs to be placed from a minimum distance of 30 meters...

As much zoom as your two feet care to move either forward or backward. Seriously, don't stand in one place when taking photos. Perspective also changes in respect to where you are. Don't stand in one place.

The case directions suggest holding it lengthwise (camera on left, home button on right) and popping the top two corners out from that position, one in each hand. I've had success putting my four fingers on the back and thumbs on the case corners and pressing that way.

I believe you can swing the camera to your back. If left by your side, it would swing to your front if you bend over. Gravity wins. To keep the camera at your side, you would need to rig a snap to clip the camera to a belt loop. This of course would defeat the ease of swinging the camera up for quick photos.

Hold the pole at your waist level. Adjust the angle between the pole and the camera so that you can still be inside the picture frame.

Find with that lens you have to get very close and use tripod or be steady. Use a shorter lens.
