Preparing the Camcorder
Preparing the Camcorder
This section outlines the basic preparations for the camcorder such as attaching a lens and attaching the
modular units (handle unit, grip unit, etc.) to the camcorder. The modular units extend the camcorder's
functionality so you can choose the configuration that best fits your needs and shooting conditions.
Preparing the Lens
As much as possible, attach and remove the lens quickly and in a clean environment free of dust. Refer also to
the instruction manual of the lens used.
IMPORTANT
• When attaching/removing a lens, avoid direct sunlight or strong light sources. Also, be careful not to drop the
camcorder or lens.
NOTES
• Be careful not to touch the lens mount or any components inside the lens mount area.
