Using your Hitachi Z - HD5000 HDTV camera is easy. First, make sure you have a suitable power supply as it's not included with the camera. Connect the camera to your recording device or monitor using the appropriate cables. The B4 (2/3') mount allows for easy attachment of lenses. When you're done using the camera, store it in a dry and clean place. Avoid exposing it to extreme temperatures or humidity. Since there's no body cap, be careful to keep dust away from the camera body. Periodically clean the lens with a soft, dry cloth to maintain good image quality.
