Attaching the camera to the tripod
First it is necessary to attach the tripod adaptor also known as a foot-plate to the tripod.
The wedge shaped section of the footplate is inserted into the recess on the top of the
tripod. It should securely click into place. Fully open the three legs of the tripod into a
position that is secure and balanced.
Place the camera’s pin into the grooved surface of the tripod (a). Slide the camera forward
until you hear a click.
To remove the digital camera from the tripod, press the red button on the release lever,
and whilst holding this button down, move the lever forward to release the lock.
Charging and removing the battery
1. Connect the mains lead to the charger.
2. Align the surface of the battery pack with the charger. Then fit and slide the battery
pack in the direction of the arrow.
3. Connect the power lead to the mains. At this time the CHARGE lamp will light up
orange to identify the battery is charging.
When the charge lamp goes out, charging is complete.
Unplug the unit from the mains and then remove the battery.
The battery can be used before it is completely charged.
The approximate normal charging time is 3 hours
A battery that is indicated as dead should hold a minimal charge
to allow for a cassette to be ejected from the camera
