Installation
Be sure to place the main unit on a flat
surface.
If you must place the camera on an inclined
surface, make sure the incline is less than
±15 degrees.
Notes
• Do not grasp the camera head when
carrying the video camera.
• Do not turn the camera head manually.
Doing so will result in the camera
malfunctioning.
To attach the camera to a tripod
Use a tripod with screws meeting either of
the following specifications.
ISO standard: length 4.5 mm ±0.2 mm
ASA standard: length 0.197 inches
To attach a wide conversion lens
The camera's lens portion is threaded. To
attach the conversion lens you use, align the
lens with those threads, and turn it to the
right to attach it securely.
Acceptable wide conversion lenses should
weigh less than 100 g (4 oz), and should not
exceed the dimensions given in the
illustration below.

Notes
In order to prevent the wide conversion lens
from falling, follow the advice given below.
• Be sure that the lens is tightened securely,
as far as it will go.
• Do not use a wide conversion lens in an
environment where it is subject to
vibration or shock.
• Check periodically, at least once year, to
ensure that the connection has not
loosened. If conditions warrant, make this
periodic check more frequently.
• Take other measures to ensure the wide
conversion lens does not come loose and
fall.
(For example, secure it with epoxy or tape,
etc.)
