Preparing the Camcorder
This section outlines the basic preparations for the camcorder such as attaching a lens and attaching the
modular units to the camcorder: monitor unit, grip unit, handle unit, thumb rest, eye cup, etc. Your camcorder is
nothing if not versatile and you can choose the configuration that best fits your needs and shooting conditions.
NOTES
• When changing the camcorder’s configuration, be careful not
to cover with tape or otherwise obstruct the cooling fan’s air
intake vents (marked as AIR INTAKE).
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 touch the lens mount or any components inside the lens mount area.
• Replace the body cap to the lens mount immediately after removing the lens from the camcorder.
• Keep the body cap clean and free from dust or dirt particles.
