Mounting the Camera to a Tripod

Mount the camera to a tripod using a VCT-14 Tripod
Attachment.
Caution
• Select an appropriate hole from among those at the bottom
of the tripod attachment considering the balance of the
weight of the camera and the tripod attachment. If an
inappropriate hole is selected, the camera may fall over.
• Check that the size of the selected hole matches that of the
screw of the tripod. If they do not match, the tripod
attachment cannot be attached to the tripod securely.
Mounting procedure

Adjusting the Shoulder Pad Position 1 Attach the tripod attachment to the tripod and secure
it with the screw.
You can shift the shoulder pad from its center position (factory Tripod attachment
setting) backward by up to 10 mm (3/8 inch) or forward by up
to 25 mm (1 inch). This adjustment helps you get the best
balance for shooting with the camera on your shoulder.
