10. Built-in rotating tripod collar
• When shooting vertical pictures, loosen the tripod collar lock screw by turning
it counterclockwise, rotate the lens to an appropriate position, then tighten
the screw clockwise.
• When holding the camera by its handgrip and rotating the camera with the
lens in its tripod collar, your hand may bump into the tripod, depending on
the tripod in use.
Monopod (supplied accessory)
• The tripod collar can be exchanged for a monopod collar by removing the
tripod collar lock screw.
• After changing the tripod collar, make sure the screw is fully tightened. Failure
to fully tighten the screw could lead to accidents or damage to the lens and
camera.
For details on this procedure, contact your nearest Nikon service center or
representative office.
