Mounting the Camera to a Tripod
When using the supplied camera mounting
plate
1
Attach the camera mounting plate directly to the
camera.
(Two 3/8-inch tripod screws: screw depth of 10 mm
(13/32 inches) or less)
2
Place the camera on the tripod and mount the camera
by sliding it forward along the groove of the tripod
plate until it clicks into place.
3
Make sure that the camera is securely attached by
moving it back and forth.
If the screws of the camera mounting plate are 1/4-inch tripod
screws, use inch conversion screws (Sony Part No.:
4-170-419-02) to attach the plate. For details on purchasing
inch conversion screws, and other information, contact a Sony
service representative or Sony sales representative.
When using V shoe and VCT-14 tripod

Use an optional V shoe (Sony Part No.: A-8279-993-D) and
VCT-14 tripod attachment to mount the camera to the tripod.
• Select an appropriate hole from among those at the bottom
of the tripod attachment, taking into consideration the
balance of the weight of the camera and the tripod
attachment. If an inappropriate hole is selected, the center
of gravity may be off center, which may cause the camera to
fall over and may cause an injury.
• Check that the size of the selected hole matches that of the
screw of the tripod. If they do not match, the tripod
