Use the provided tripod base to place the camera on a tripod.

1. Attach the tripod base on the tripod by using the hole that balances the unit most optimally.

2. While pushing the safety lever, pull the lock lever toward the front until the front mount clip clicks into place.

3. Place the unit on the tripod base by aligning the rear base mount of the unit with the pin on the tripod base.

4. Push the unit from the upward direction and slide it toward the front so that the front base mount of the unit is locked by the front mount clip of the tripod base as it clicks into place.

CAUTION:

The front base mount may be locked while the pin of the tripod base is not inserted into the hole on the rear base mount of the unit. Therefore, after mounting, make sure that these parts are engaged properly.

When moving the unit mounted on a tripod, any impact or vibration should be avoided as this may cause the unit to become detached and to drop from the tripod.

Be sure to remove the unit from the tripod before transporting it.

The tripod base (KA-510) cannot be mounted.
