Preparing the Camcorder

• About the LCD and viewfinder screens: The screens are produced using extremely high-precision
manufacturing techniques, with more than 99.99% of the pixels operating to specification. Less than 0.01% of
the pixels may occasionally misfire or appear as black, red, blue or green dots. This has no effect on the
recorded image and does not constitute a malfunction.
Using a Tripod
The camcorder is shipped with the TB-1 Tripod Base for tripods with 0.95 cm (3/8 in.)
screws. 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 0.64 cm (1/4 in.) Mounting
Screws
