CAUTION
When attaching the camcorder to a tripod, extend its
legs to stabilise the camcorder. It is not advised to use
small sized tripods. This may cause damage to the unit
by falling over.
1 To attach the camcorder to a tripod, align the screw
to the mounting socket r on the camcorder. Then
tighten the screw clockwise. Some tripods are not
equipped with studs.
