Place the camcorder on a flat surface or use a tripod
Try placing the camcorder on a table top or any other flat surface of suitable height. If you
have a tripod for a still camera, you can also use it with the camcorder. When attaching a
non-Sony tripod, make sure that the length of the tripod screw is less than 9/32 inch
(6.5 mm). Otherwise, you cannot attach the tripod securely and the screw may damage the
camcorder.
Cautions on the LCD panel and on the viewfinder
•Do not pick up the camcorder by the viewfinder or the LCD panel. [d]
•Do not place the camcorder so as to point the viewfinder or the LCD panel toward the sun.
The inside of the viewfinder or the LCD panel may be damaged. Be careful when placing
the camcorder under sunlight or by a window. [e]
