Preparing the Camera
You should already have attached a power source to the camera and loaded a cassette. When
you have completed the following steps, you will be ready to start recording.
Fasten the grip belt
• Release the Velcro fastening and hold the
camera with your right hand while you adjust
the belt with your left.
Adjust the viewfinder
• You can adjust the viewfinder to suit your
eyesight. First put the camera in record
pause mode (turn the STANDBY lever to
STANDBY and turn the program selector to
camera mode).
• Adjust the viewfinder by sliding the viewfinder
focusing switch to the left or right to bring the
viewfinder display clearly into focus.
• The viewfinder also rotates through 70° to
give a choice of shooting positions.
Prepare the lens cap
• Attach/remove the lens cap as shown.
• Hook the lens cap on to the grip belt while
you are recording, and place it over the lens
when you have finished.
