Page 24: Usage Techniques
Usage techniques 9.1 General usage Keep the battery inside of the carrying bag and carry the bag with the strap over your shoulder to free your hands for using the camera. When you are not carrying the camera in your hand, always put it securely in- side the carrying bag to prevent it from falling. - Page 25 Usage techniques In the multi-source mode, the camera will show not only the strongest sound source, but also weaker sound sources. Note that sound sources consider- ably weaker than the strongest source will not be shown. The multi-source model is useful in finding weaker sound sources. If you want to examine these sources closer, you can move and rotate the camera as well as use the zoom button.
