Preparations
Adjusting the Shoulder Pad Position
You can shift the shoulder pad from its center position
(factory setting) backward by up to 10 mm (3/8 inch) or
forward by up to 25 mm (1 inch). This adjustment helps
you get the best balance for shooting with the camcorder
on your shoulder.
Adjusting procedure
1
Raise the lever in the center of the shoulder pad to
unlock the shoulder pad.
2
Slide the shoulder pad backward or forward until it is
in the most convenient position.
3
Move the lever down to lock the shoulder pad in the
selected position.
Mounting the Camera to a Tripod
Mount the camera to a tripod using a VCT-14 Tripod
Adaptor.
• Select an appropriate hole from among those at the
bottom of the tripod adaptor considering the balance of
the weight of the camera and the tripod adaptor. If an
inappropriate hole is selected, the camera may fall over.
• Check that the size of the selected hole matches that of
the screw of the tripod. If they do not match, the tripod
adaptor cannot be attached to the tripod securely.
Mounting procedure
1
Attach the tripod adaptor to the tripod and secure it
with the screw.
2
Place the camera on the tripod adaptor, and slide
forward it along the groove of the tripod adaptor until
it clicks.
3
Make sure that the camera is securely attached by
moving it back and forth.
