3-6 Attaching the Tripod Base (provided)
Use the provided tripod base to place the camera on a tripod.
1.
Attach the tripod base on the tripod by using the hole that
balances the unit most optimally.
2.
While pushing the safety lever, pull the lock lever toward
the front until the front mount clip clicks into place.
3.
Place the unit on the tripod base by aligning the rear base
mount of the unit with the pin on the tripod base.
4.
Push the unit from the upward direction and slide it toward
the front so that the front base mount of the unit is locked
by the front mount clip of the tripod base as it clicks into
place.
The front base mount may be locked while the pin of the
tripod base is not inserted into the hole on the rear base
mount of the unit. Therefore, after mounting, make sure
that these parts are engaged properly.
When moving the unit mounted on a tripod, any impact
or vibration should be avoided as this may cause the unit
to become detached and to drop from the tripod.
Be sure to remove the unit from the tripod before
transporting it.
CAUTION:
For servicing
See the service manual page 1-16 1.11.7 Tripod base.

When the lithium battery is not in place or the battery is exhausted and requires a replacement, the "Li" indicator in the LCD display
will light up.
Replace lithium batteries with the POWER switch set to ON. Doing it with the POWER switch set to OFF will cause the loss of
backup data.

After replacing the lithium battery, set the date and time.
To do this, see page 41 Setting the Date and Time.
