Rotating Lens
To maintain upright orientation for your video when the
camera is mounted at an angle, the XTC450's lens can ro-
tate 180° in one direction and -90° in the other. There are
indentations every 90° to enable you to twist the lens into
place at commonly used angles.
External Microphone
To connect your camera to an external microphone, first open
the rubber cover and then insert the 3.5mm microphone jack
into the plug. If you are using a headset, the left speaker will
be used as the microphone. In addition, you may also connect
an mp3 player to directly record music to your video.
