Attaching the Shoulder Strap

The shoulder strap packed with your camcorder is designed to let you carry the camcorder from your shoulder and — when you are ready to shoot — bring the camcorder to shooting position in one quick movement.

To Attach the Shoulder Strap

1. Unfasten one end of the strap from the buckle catch and slide the end of the strap out of the tension band. Make sure you leave the buckle on the strap.

2. Thread each end of the strap through one of the shoulder strap attachment rings as shown.

Attachment Rings

3. Thread the strap back through the tension band and into the buckle.

Make sure the strap is firmly attached before using it to carry the camcorder.

4.To adjust the length of the strap, pull a loop of the strap loose. Then pull the

strap through the tension band or buckle firmly.

Caution: When carrying the camcorder with the shoulder strap, you may find it convenient to rotate the viewfinder to the front. This helps prevent possible damage to the viewfinder from bumping against your body as you move.
