Mounting the Camera on the Tripod
This section explains how to install a tripod on the camera. There are various types of tripods depending on the applications and
purposes. See the user's manual of your tripod for details on the tripod.
Caution:
Make sure that two or more people carry and install or remove the camera. Working alone may cause unexpected injury or damage to
the camera when you drop the camera.
1
Install a V-wedge to the camera.
If a user prepares a tripod for himself/herself, it is
necessary to install a V-wedge on the camera.
Install a V-wedge on the prede ned position and x it
with four screws.
The adjustment of the center of gravity by lens type
is performed at the cam head on the tripod, so it is not
necessary to perform the adjustment by moving the
V-wedge mounting position.
However, if you cannot take the center of gravity by
the cam head on the tripod, such as when you use an
extra-large lens, adjust it by the balance plate using a
mounting hole of V-wedge at the bottom surface.
See the bottom hole dimensions described in the next page.
2
Fasten the fi xing part and fi x the legs of tripod.
3
Make sure that tilt lock and pan lock are applied.
If they are not locked and loose, tighten them.
Caution:
If the tripod is unstable, the camera may fall when
installing the camera and cause damage to the
equipment or injury.
4
Lift the camera and press the V-wedge into the
v-shaped groove of the cam head on the tripod.
5
Turn the safety lock knob of the cam head in a
counterclockwise direction to lock.
6
Make sure that the camera is securely fi xed to the
tripod and nothing is rattling.
