Getting Started
By connecting the camera to a video recorder, DVD recorder or other AV
equipment, you can record images captured by the camera. (1p.110)
As the tripod socket is located on the side of the lens section, pictures
are taken in the vertical position unless you adjust the camera after
attaching it to the tripod.
To take pictures in the horizontal position, adjust the position of the
platform so that the camera is horizontal.
You cannot take pictures while using an AC power supply. If you
intend to use the camera for a long period of time as a “PC camera”,
make sure that the battery is fully charged.
Using a Tripod
Make sure the tripod is steady and does not overbalance due to the
weight of the camera. You are recommended to use a sturdy tripod.
The way the camera is fixed to the tripod varies depending on the
type of tripod. For more information, refer to the operating manual
for your tripod.
Camera may be unstable depending on the tripod used. If the
camera is unstable, use a tripod stabilizer (sold separately) and
place it between the camera and platform. Do not use if the height
of the tripod screw is low or the fit in the tripod socket is not secure.
