Mounting
3. When mounting the camera onto a pan-tilt head
(AW-PH400), do not use the anchoring rubber piece
supplied with the pan-tilt head.
Notes
For the specifications of the camera mounting screw
holes, refer to “Major operating controls and their
functions” on page 15.
When using the camera mounting screw holes on the
camera’s top surface (when mounting the camera by
suspending it), take care not to block the ventilation
holes of the cooling fan.
If this rubber piece is used, the camera’s ventilation
holes will be blocked, causing the temperature inside the
camera to rise and possibly resulting in a malfunction.
When using the camera mounting screw holes on the
camera’s top surface (when mounting the camera by
suspending it), attach the drop-prevention wire to the
camera mounting screw holes on the camera’s bottom
surface.
Do not mount the camera upside down because this
will cause the temperature inside the camera to rise,
possibly resulting in a malfunction.
When mounting the camera onto a pan-tilt head,
mount it securely after obtaining a full understanding
of the mounting procedure in the operating
instructions of the pan-tilt head.
Do not use the anchoring
