2. First Use
2.11.1 Handheld Stabilizer
The handheld stabilizer allows you to capture hard angle shots with ease. The
built-in ZOOM and SHUTTER buttons allow you to record videos and capture
images while using the stabilizer. Follow the steps below to mount the
handheld stabilizer to the camcorder.
1. Remove the hot shoe tab from the top of the camcorder.
2. Place the stabilizer on the top of the camcorder and align the mounting tab
with the hot shoe mount.
3. Slowly slide the stabilizer mounting tab into the hot shoe mount while
making sure that the rear of the stabilizer is aligned with the USB port on
the back of the camcorder, until you hear an audible click.
4. Rotate the locking screw on the stabilizer, located right above the
mounting tab, clockwise until tight. Make sure not to overtighten the screw
as this may result in damage.
5. While attached to the camcorder, the ZOOM and SHUTTER buttons on
the stabilizer will work to control video recording and image capture. The
controls on the camcorder will also work while the stabilizer is attached.
6. To remove the stabilizer, rotate the locking screw counter clockwise until
loose, then press down on the locking tab, located on the camcorder at the
back of the stabilizer, and slowly slide the stabilizer off the camcorder until
free. Use caution to make sure your finger does not get pinched between
the camcorder and stabilizer.
