Mounting the camera on a tripod

Use the tripod attachment, available as an optional accessory, to mount the camera on a tripod.

1 Mount the tripod attachment on the tripod.

Note

Select the appropriate holes from among the holes on the bottom of tripod attachment depending

on where the center of gravity of the camera and tripod attachment falls. If the holes selected are not appropriate, the center of gravity will not be supported, as a result of which the camera may drop off or fall over, which in turn may possibly cause injury.

Check that the diameter of the holes selected for mounting matches the diameter of the screw holes of the tripod platform. If these diameters do not correspond, the tripod attachment will not be secured properly, as a result of which the camera may drop off or fall over, which in turn may possibly cause injury.

Now check that the camera is secured properly.

<Note>

If the pin of the tripod attachment fails to return to its original position after the camera has been detached, push the red lever again and simultaneously move the black lever in the direction of the arrow to return the pin to its original position.

Bear in mind that the camera cannot be mounted if the pin still remains at the center.

Note

Concerning the steps for ensuring that the camera does not slip or drop out of position

When installing the camera on a crane or at some other position high above the floor or ground, first check that the crane can bear the weight of the entire system including the camera, lens and connecting cables, and then use the specified tools to install the camera securely.

Be absolutely sure to ensure that the camera will not drop from its position by looping an anti-drop wire around its handle and securing the end of the wire at a point above the camera, as shown in the figure below.
