Installing the Product

WARNING

Install the camera securely.

• When installing the camera on the ceiling, contact your Canon dealer.
• When installing the camera on the ceiling, check that the ceiling is strong enough to bear the weight of the camera including the installation bracket. Installation in a weak location could result in the camera falling and causing serious injury.
• At least once a year, check for looseness in the camera installation mount. (If the optional wide-angle converter is used, check the converter mount also.)

Note: The permissible camera installation angles are +/-20° from the horizontal. (+/-15° when the optional wide-angle converter is used.)

Using the Wide-angle Converter

The optional Wide-angle Converter WL-37 can be used to provide wide-angle shots (approx. 0.74x the normal focal distance). Mount the wide-angle converter correctly so that it is level and fitted securely onto the camera. When mounted correctly, the wide-angle converter should turn roughly 3 times before stopping.

The Wide-angle Converter WL-37 is designed specifically for the VC-C4 and cannot be used on the VC-C4R. If the converter is used on the VC-C4R, the mount will gradually loosen and the converter will fall off the camera.

Using a Tripod

The screw mount for a tripod is located in the center of the underside of the camera.

NOTE Do not overtighten the mounting screw. If excessive force is used to tighten the mounting screw, camera head movement may be impeded, or other malfunctions may result. Always use a tripod mounting screw that is less than 6.0 mm (1/4 in.) in length. The use of screws 6.0 mm (1/4 in.) long or longer could damage the camera. Also, the tripod seat used should be at least 30 mm (1 3/16 in.) in diameter.
