Mounting the camera on a tripod
Use the tripod attachment, available as an optional
accessory, to mount the camera on a tripod.
1
Mount the tripod attachment on the tripod.
Note
Select the appropriate holes from among the holes
on the bottom of tripod attachment depending
on where the centre of gravity of the camera and
tripod attachment falls. If the holes selected are
not appropriate, the centre of gravity will not be
supported, as a result of which the camera may
drop off or fall over, which in turn may possibly
cause injury.
Check that the diameter of the holes selected
for mounting matches the diameter of the screw
holes of the tripod platform. If these diameters do
not correspond, the tripod attachment will not be
secured properly, as a result of which the camera
may drop off or fall over, which in turn may possibly
cause injury.

heard.

<Note>
If the pin of the tripod attachment fails to return to its
original position after the camera has been detached,
push the red lever again and simultaneously move the
black lever in the direction of the arrow to return the pin
to its original position.
Bear in mind that the camera cannot be mounted if the
pin still remains at the centre.
Note
Concerning the steps for ensuring that the
camera does not slip or drop out of position
When installing the camera on a crane or at some
other position high above the floor or ground, first
check that the crane can bear the weight of the entire
system including the camera, lens and connecting
cables, and then use the specified tools to install the
camera securely.
Be absolutely sure to ensure that the camera will not
drop from its position by looping an anti-drop wire
around its handle and securing the end of the wire at a
point above the camera, as shown in the figure below.
