To attach the camera to a tripod
Attach a tripod to the screw hole used for attaching a
tripod on the bottom of the camera.
The tripod must be set up on a flat surface and tightened
firmly by hand.
Use a tripod with screws meeting either of the following
specifications.
To attach a wide conversion lens
The camera’s lens portion is threaded. To attach a wide
conversion lens, align the lens with those threads, and
turn it clockwise to attach it securely.
Acceptable wide conversion lenses
Weight: less than 200 g (7 oz)
Size: less than the size given in the illustration below
Vignetting may occur when shooting with the
conversion lens attached.
Installing the Camera in a High
Position
Using the supplied ceiling brackets, wire rope, and
screws, you can attach the camera to a ceiling or on a
shelf, etc. in a high position. You can also utilize an
existing junction box, etc. to attach the camera to a
ceiling.
When you install the camera, always install it on a level
ceiling or shelf, etc. If you have to install it on an incline,
make sure that the inclination is within ± 15 degrees, so
that the pan/tilt performance is guaranteed.
Before installation
The connecting cables cannot be passed through the
ceiling bracket (A). A hole for the wiring is required in
the ceiling or shelf, etc. behind where the camera is to be
installed. When installing the camera on a ceiling, make
the required hole for the junction box in the ceiling.
When installing it on a shelf, etc. in a high position, a
hole with a diameter of 70 mm (2
7
/
8
inches) is required
for the protrusions of the ceiling bracket. Make these
holes after deciding the shooting direction.
Installation of the camera using the tripod screws and
screw holes should not be done for installation on a
ceiling or a shelf, etc. in a high position.

In order to prevent the wide conversion lens from
falling, note the following:
• Entrust this task an experienced contractor or
installer to ensure the wide conversion lens does not
come loose and fall.
• Be sure that the lens is tightened securely, as far as it
will go and it does not fall.
• Do not use a wide conversion lens in an environment
where it is subject to vibration or shock.
• Check periodically, at least once a year, to ensure
that the connection has not loosened. If conditions
warrant, make this periodic check more frequently.
• When you attach the camera to a ceiling or shelf, etc.
in a high position, entrust the installation to an
experienced contractor or installer.
• Attach the camera to a ceiling or shelf, etc. firmly,
after making sure a ceiling, shelf, etc. and
attachment materials are strong enough to bear the
weight of the camera plus the ceiling brackets (more
than 40 kg (88 lb 3 oz)). If the ceiling or shelf, etc. is
not strong enough, the camera may fall and cause
serious injury.
