LCD Monitor/Viewfinder/Lens Hood
LCD Monitor
≥
In a place with drastic temperature changes, condensation
may form on the LCD Monitor. Wipe it with soft dry cloth.
≥
If your Movie Camera is extremely cold when you turn its
power on, the image on the LCD Monitor is slightly darker
than usual at first. However, as the internal temperature
increases, it goes back to the normal brightness.
..............................................................................................
Extremely high precision technology is employed to produce
the LCD Monitor screen featuring a total of approximately
110,000 pixels. The result is more than 99.99% effective
pixels with a mere 0.01% of the pixels inactive or always lit.
However, this is not a malfunction and does not affect the
recorded picture.
..............................................................................................
Viewfinder
≥
Do not direct the Viewfinder or Lens to the sun. Internal
components may be seriously damaged.
≥
When the Movie Camera is used with a large capacity
Battery (CGP-D28S/CGP-D320; optional) attached to it, it
is not practical to look in the Viewfinder from behind the
Battery. In this case, lift up the Viewfinder to an easy-to-see
angle.
..............................................................................................
Extremely high precision technology is employed to produce
the Viewfinder screen featuring a total of approximately
113,000 pixels. The result is more than 99.99% effective
pixels with a mere 0.01% of the pixels inactive or always lit.
However, this is not a malfunction and does not affect the
recorded picture.
..............................................................................................
Lens Hood
≥
When attaching the Lens Hood, match the marks
1
on the
Movie Camera and the Lens Hood and turn.
≥
Do not attach other conversion lenses in front of the Lens
Hood; there is no mount to be used for the attachment.
≥
When you wish to attach the Tele Conversion Lens (VW-
LT3714ME; optional), Wide Conversion Lens (VW-
LW3707ME; optional), MC Protector (VW-LMC37E;
optional), or ND Filter (VW-LND37E; optional), first of all,
turn the Lens Hood counterclockwise. If the MC Protector
or ND Filter is used, the Lens Hood can be mounted on the
filter.
≥
If you push the [W/T] Lever toward [W] during recording
with the filter or conversion lens attached to the Movie
Camera, 4 corners of the image may become dark
(vignetting). For details, please refer to the operating
instructions of your accessories.
≥
Be sure to keep the Lens Hood attached to the Movie
Camera so as to shut out unnecessary light.
