Equipment Setup
Image
- Adjust the tripod. Tripod legs stretch out three times their minimum length. Lift the clamps on the leg segments to adjust height, shut clamps down to lock.
- Mount the camera. The camera will already have the tripod quick release mounting plate; ensure the register pin doesn’t get in the way of the lens's manual zoom. Slide the tripod quick release mounting plate onto the tripod and tighten.
- Plug in camera power supply. Make sure the 12V power supply cable is securely plugged into the camera and is also securely plugged into an extension cord plugged into a wall power outlet.
- Power on lights. Turn on and adjust the settings of the lights manually by pressing the power button in the back panel and adjusting the intensity and colour of the light using the dials, or use the remote control to turn on and adjust these settings: light 1 should be set to Channel 1, Group C and light 2 should be set to Channel 1, Group D.
- Turn on Camera. One quick press of the camera Power Button will turn on the camera (hold this button down to power off). The SD card of the camera should be clear of video files and ready to record. If this is not the case, format the card to exFAT, or use your own SD card. Check the 'Saving Your Work' section of this guide for a list of acceptable SD cards that will work with the camera.
