- To protect the connector of the Multi Interface foot from damage while carrying around this unit, remove the unit from the camera, attach the connector protect cap to the foot and put the unit in the supplied case.
- While this unit is attached to a camera along with other accessories via a mounting bracket (not supplied), such as Sony VCT-55LH, do not hold the camera with hands for camera shooting. To avoid the risk of an incident caused by dropping, attach the camera to a tripod.
- While recording is in progress, operation and handling noises of a camera or a lens may be recorded. Touching this unit while recording is in progress causes a noise to be including in the recording.
