A For DCR-HC94E/HC96E:
Active Interface Shoe
The Active Interface Shoe supplies
power to optional accessories such as a
video light, a flash, or a microphone.
The accessory can be turned on or off as
you operate the POWER switch on your
camcorder. Refer to the operating
instructions supplied with your
accessory for details.
• When you connect an accessory, open the
shoe cover.
• The Active Interface Shoe has a safety
device for fixing the installed accessory
securely. To connect an accessory, press
down and push it to the end, and then
tighten the screw. To release an accessory,
loosen the screw, and then slide it out while
pressing down.
• Connecting with an external device wears
out the battery pack faster.
• When you are recording movies with an
external flash (optional) connected to the
accessory shoe, turn off the power of the
external flash to prevent charging noise
being recorded.
• You cannot use an external flash (optional)
and the built-in flash at the same time.
• When an external microphone (optional) is
connected, it takes precedence over the
internal stereo microphone (p. 31).
B For DCR-HC94E/HC96E:
LANC jack (blue)
• The LANC control jack is used for
controlling the tape transport of video
devices and peripherals connected to it.
