Distortion in image quality or out-of-focus may occur when used in close proximity to vibrating motors and engines.
When shooting under these conditions, we recommend use of the following separately sold accessories.
FDR-X3000/X3000R, HDR-AS300/AS300R
Use the separately sold accessories Chest Mount Harness (AKA-CMH1), Helmet Side Mount (VCT-HSM1), or Universal Head Mount Kit (BLT-UHM1) and attach the camera so that the vibrations of the engine or motor do not directly affect the camera.

By using the separately sold accessory Motor Vibration Absorber for X3000/AS300 (AKA-MVA) in combination with the separately sold accessories Handlebar Mount (VCT-HM2) or Roll Bar Mount (VCT-RBM2), you can improve symptoms such as distortion in image quality and the picture coming out-of-focus in an installation environment where the vibrations of engines and motors directly affect the camera.
