Attaching the Shoulder Strap

We recommend that you attach the Shoulder Strap before going out of doors to record so as to avoid dropping the Movie Camera.

1Pull the end of the Shoulder Strap through the Shoulder Strap Holder on the Movie Camera.

2Fold the tip of the Shoulder Strap, run it through the

Shoulder Strap Length Adjuster, and pull it.

≥Pull it out more than 2 cm 1 from the Shoulder Strap Length Adjuster so that it cannot slip off.
