Mounting the Camera to a Tripod
Chapter 2 Installation and Preparations
When the supplied center handle is attached to the top of
the camera head, you can attach the viewfinder to the
viewfinder shoe of the center handle. In this case, first
remove the viewfinder shoe from the camera head.
For details on the center handle, see “2-6-2 Center Handle
(Supplied)” (page 23).
When the L handle is attached to the camera head, the
attaching condition may be limited, owing to the
viewfinder position and the rotating position of the hood.
When the second viewfinder is required
Connect it to the VF2 connector.
Using the menus, you can specify the display condition
independently of the viewfinder connected to the VF1
connector.
When two viewfinders are connected at the same time (via
the VF1 and VF2 connectors), if an HDVF-C950W is
connected to either connector, use an HDVF-C35W as the
other viewfinder. Because of a limitation of current
capacity, two HDVF-C950W viewfinders cannot be used
simultaneously.
To detach the viewfinder
Loosen the viewfinder positioning ring, pull on the
viewfinder stopper, then pull out the viewfinder by sliding
it in the direction opposite that when attaching.
2-5 Mounting the Camera
to a Tripod
Two tripod receptacles (for
3
/
8
” camera screws) are
provided on the bottom of the camera head.
Select an appropriate hole, considering the balance of the
weight of the camera. If an inappropriate hole is selected,
the camera may fall over.
Check that the size of the selected hole matches that of
the screw of the tripod. If they do not match, the camera
cannot be attached to the tripod securely.
