1) Hold camera with two hands.
2) Brace elbows against waist.
3) Once camera is "locked-in" to your body only pivot with your hips.
4) No jerky movements...nothing deserves a "fast pan" unless something exciting is about to happen.
5) Don't zoom as much. People need a field of view to gain perspective.
6) Slow your movements and zooms down by at least 50%. Your body movements should feel like slow motion when you have the camera locked in and taping. Anything faster just promotes viewer discomfort.
7) Turn the auto-zoom off.
8) For static interviews etc. invest in a tripod. Check out Jeff's MHT videos...very high quality with similar equipment.
