To attach the camera to a tripod
Attach a tripod to the screw hole used for attaching a
tripod on the bottom of the camera.
The tripod must be set up on a flat surface and tightened
firmly by hand.
Use a tripod with screws meeting either of the following
specifications.
To attach a wide conversion lens
The camera's lens portion is threaded. To attach a wide
conversion lens, align the lens with those threads, and
turn it clockwise to attach it securely.
Acceptable wide conversion lenses
Weight: less than 200 g (7 oz)
Size: less than the size given in the illustration below
Vignetting may occur when shooting with the
conversion lens attached.
Notes
In order to prevent the wide conversion lens from falling,
note the following:
• Entrust this task an experienced contractor or installer
to ensure the wide conversion lens does not come
loose and fall.
• Be sure that the lens is tightened securely, as far as it
will go and it does not fall.
• Do not use a wide conversion lens in an environment
where it is subject to vibration or shock.
• Check periodically, at least once a year, to ensure that
the connection has not loosened. If conditions warrant,
make this periodic check more frequently.
Installing the Camera on the Ceiling
Using the supplied ceiling brackets, wire rope and
screws, you can utilize existing junction boxes, etc., to
attach the camera to the ceiling.
When you install the camera, always install it on a level
ceiling. If you have to install it on an inclined ceiling,
make sure that the inclination is within ±15 degrees, so
that the pan/tilt performance is guaranteed.
Notes
• When you attach the camera to the ceiling, entrust the
installation to an experienced contractor or installer.
• Attach the camera to the ceiling firmly, after making
sure the ceiling is strong enough to bear the weight of
the camera plus the ceiling bracket. If the ceiling is not
strong enough, the camera may fall and cause serious
injury.
• Be sure to attach the supplied wire rope to prevent the
camera from falling.
• Check periodically, at least once a year, to ensure that
the connection has not loosened. If conditions warrant,
make this periodic check more frequently.
Before installation
After deciding the shooting direction, make the required
holes for the junction box and connecting cables on the
ceiling.
Note
The connecting cables cannot be passed through the
ceiling bracket (A). A hole for the wiring is required in
the ceiling at the back of the camera where it is attached
to the ceiling.
