Fitting to a Tripod
Chapter 2 Preparation
Fitting to a Tripod
First fit the VCT-U14 Tripod Adaptor to the tripod, then
mount the camcorder on the tripod adaptor.
To remove a tripod
After removing the camcorder, if the tripod adaptor pin has
not returned to its original position, hold down the red
button and move the lever in the direction of the arrow to
return the pin to its original position. It is not possible to
mount a camcorder with the pin left out.
Using a Video Light
You can use the Anton Bauer Ultralight 2 or equivalent for
this camcorder. Use a video light powered by 12 V with
maximum power consumption of 50 W.
• If you connect the video light to the LIGHT connector on
the camcorder and set the LIGHT switch to AUTO, you
can turn the light on and off automatically as you start
and stop the VTR operation.
• The output of the video light connector on the camcorder
is controlled to 12 V even when the camcorder is
supplied with 12 V or more power (through the DC IN
connector or battery pack). The brightness or color
temperature of the light will not change according to
voltage increase.
• Do not use a video light with power consumption of over
50 W.
• The brightness or color temperature of the light will
change when the supplied voltage (through the DC IN
connector or battery pack) is under 12 V.
To attach the video light
Fit the video light to the camcorder grip or the accessory
shoe and connect the video light cable to the LIGHT
connector.
Note
Slide the camcorder forward along the slot, until it
clicks firmly into place.
