Chapter 3 Preparation — Adjusting and setting the viewfinder
Adjusting and setting the viewfinder
This camera is equipped with a 0.39-inch organic EL viewfinder. Use either the viewfinder or the LCD monitor depending on your purpose and the
shooting conditions.
Using the viewfinder
When the LCD monitor is difficult to use 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 sensitivity of the eye sensor is set in the [VIDEO OUT/LCD/VF] menu → [VF] → [EYE SENSOR] → [HIGH] or [LOW].
f 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 eyepiece. If this happens, switch the image display by assigning [VF ON/OFF] to the USER button.
