We invite you to look at some great ideas for sparking creativity and adding to the fun of using your camcorder. These accessories are designed to make the process of recording and watching your videos more enjoyable.

BB75 Battery Pack

 

This rechargeable battery is

 

designed specifically for long

 

life. The BB75 is the same

BB75

battery that came packed with

your camcorder. It can be

 

 

charged using the adapter/

 

charger that came with your

 

camcorder.

SUN102 Sun Hood

This sun hood helps protect the lens from strong sunlight when recording on a bright sunny day.

SDC100 Car Battery Adapter

This car battery adapter enables you to operate your

Camcorder from your car, truck, or RV by plugging the

car cord directly into the

vehicle’s cigarette lighter socket. The SDC100 is designed specifically to convert power from a 24- or12-volt negative ground car battery to a 4.5-volt output.

Caution: Do not use any other car battery adapter with this camcorder.

SAV103 A/V Pack

This A/V pack lets you connect your camcorder to other audio/ video equipment. Small and lightweight, it comes in handy when traveling.

STP104 Tuner Pack

This tuner pack lets you view TV channels on your camcorder. You can use the tuner pack's built-in antenna or attach an external antenna to receive the TV signal. See the tuner pack User's Guide for details.

Using the Optional AC088 Tripod

Mounting the camcorder on a tripod, such as AC088, will keep the camcorder steady and produce excellent video results.

This tripod’s fluid-effect head provides smooth camera pan and tilt. The quick-release mount makes it easy to attach or remove the camcorder. The grooved, tubular 3-section leg

design folds down to 26 inches when not in use. Rubber feet allow for sure footing.

Cautions: Before using a tripod, make sure it is stable enough to hold the camcoder without falling over. Do not transport the camcorder attached to the tripod.

When attaching your camcorder to a tripod, be careful not to force the tripod screw into the Camcorder’s tripod mounting hold.

The tripod screw should not protrude into the camcorder more than approximately three-eighth (3/8) inch. Forcing the screw could damage the mounting hole on the bottom of the camcorder.
