Attaching the tilt foot
When recording with the built-in mic, you can attach the
included tilt foot to the tripod mounting threads to prevent
the mic from being too low when placing the unit with the
bottom side (battery compartment cover side) down.
Attach it as shown below.
When not using the tilt foot, you can put it between the two
protrusions on the inside of the battery compartment cover
for storage and transportation.
