Chapter 3 Preparation — Adjusting and setting the viewfinder
Adjusting and setting the viewfinder
The viewfinder of this camera is a 0.5 type organic EL. Use either the viewfinder or the LCD monitor depending on your purpose and the shooting
conditions.
Using the viewfinder
When it is difficult to use the LCD monitor because the surroundings are bright, you can check the image using the viewfinder.
Positioning your eye near the viewfinder will trigger the eye sensor to automatically display the image.
f
The eye sensor sensitivity can be set to [HIGH] or [LOW] in the main menu

[DISPLAY SETUP]

[EYE SENSOR].

The eye sensor may not work properly depending on the shape of the eyeglasses you may be wearing, how you hold the camera, or by strong light
present in the vicinity of the eye piece. If this happens, switch the image display by assigning [EVF ON/OFF] to the USER button.
