Preparing the Camcorder
NOTES
• You can also activate the wireless controller by setting an assignable
button to [Wireless Controller] (0 117).
Using the Wireless Controller to Operate the Camcorder
When using the wireless controller, point it at the camcorder’s remote
sensor. When the wireless controller's buttons are operated, the
camcorder's tally lamps will illuminate.
NOTES
• When you use the START/STOP button or ZOOM buttons on the
wireless controller, you must press the record enable button
simultaneously with the desired button.
• When the camcorder cannot be operated with the wireless controller,
or when it can only be operated at very close range, replace the battery.
• The wireless controller may not work properly when the remote sensor
is located under strong light sources or direct sunlight.
Using a Tripod
You can mount the camcorder on a tripod but do not use tripods with
mounting screws longer than 5.5 mm (0.2 in.) as this may cause damage
to the camcorder.
Using a Tripod with 3/8" Mounting Screws
To use a tripod with 3/8" mounting screws, first attach the optional TB-1
Tripod Adapter Base to the camcorder and then attach the tripod to the
adapter base.
1 Remove the tripod base from the camcorder.
• Remove the 4 screws and then remove the base.
2 Attach the optional TB-1 Tripod Adapter Base.
• Firmly screw in the 4 screws.
3 Attach the tripod.
• Firmly screw in the tripod screw.
• If a tripod has both a 1/4" screw and 3/8" mounting screw, firmly
screw in both.
