The Active Interface Shoe supplies
power to optional accessories such as a
video light, a flash, or a microphone.
The accessory can be turned on or off as
you operate the POWER switch on your
camcorder. Refer to the operating
instructions supplied with your
accessory for details.
• When you connect an accessory, open the
shoe cover.
• The Active Interface Shoe has a safety
device for fixing the installed accessory
securely. To connect an accessory, press
down and push it to the end, and then
tighten the screw. To remove an accessory,
loosen the screw, and then press down and
pull out the accessory.

external flash (optional) connected to the
