Setting Up the DVD Video Camera/Recorder

HOLDING DVD VIDEO CAMERA/RECORDER

Insert your right hand from the bottom of DVD video camera/recorder up to the base of your thumb.

Put your hand in a position where you can easily operate the REC button and the Zoom lever. Adjust the length of hand strap so that the DVD video camera/recorder is stable when you press the REC button with your thumb.

Note:

Do not adjust the hand strap while holding the DVD video camera/recorder: Doing this could cause the DVD video camera/recorder to fall and be damaged.

Caution:

Do not lift the DVD video camera/recorder by holding the viewfinder or LCD monitor: If the viewfinder or LCD monitor comes off, the DVD video camera/recorder will fall.
