wireless controller, you must press the record enable button
simultaneously with the desired button.

or when it can only be operated at very close range, replace the battery.
• The wireless controller may not work properly when the remote sensor
is located under strong light sources or direct sunlight.

Using a Tripod

You can mount the camcorder on a tripod but do not use tripods with
mounting screws longer than 5.5 mm as this may cause damage to the
camcorder.
Using a Tripod with 0.95 cm (3/8") Mounting Screws
To use a tripod with 0.95 cm (3/8") mounting screws, first attach the
optional TB-1 Tripod Adapter Base to the camcorder and then attach the
tripod to the adapter base.
1 Remove the tripod base from the camcorder.
• Remove the 4 screws and then remove the base.
2 Attach the optional TB-1 Tripod Adapter Base.
• Firmly screw in the 4 screws.
3 Attach the tripod.
• Firmly screw in the tripod screw.
• If a tripod has both a 0.64 cm (1/4") screw and 0.95 cm (3/8")
mounting screw, firmly screw in both.
