Cautions
Do not force the viewfinder to rotate
completely around. This will damage
the viewfinder and/or the camcorder.
When carrying the camcorder with the
shoulder strap, put the viewfinder down
and slide it in. This helps prevent
possible damage to the viewfinder from
bumping against your body as you
move.
Adjust Viewfinder for Convenient
Viewing
For convenient viewing, you can slide the
viewfinder out from the camcorder and
rotate it up and down.
Viewfinder
The camcorder’s viewfinder is a miniature monitor that displays the picture
seen by the camcorder when recording.

Eyepiece Focus Control
The eyepiece focus control lets you set
the focus of the viewfinder for your
personal vision. If you wear eyeglasses,
you probably can operate the camcorder
without them.
It is easiest to set the correct focus by
focusing on one of the viewfinder’s on-
screen displays.
Look through the viewfinder and adjust
the eyepiece focus control for your vision.
The eyepiece focus control does not affect
the focus of the picture actually recorded
by the camcorder.
