• If you wear glasses, you may find the viewfinder easier to
use if you flip back the outer edge of the eye cup toward
the camcorder body.
NOTES
• Make sure you keep the eye cup attached when using the camcorder.
• For details about how to take care of the viewfinder, refer to

Adjusting the OLED Screen
Open the OLED panel 90 degrees.
• You can rotate the panel 90 degrees downward.
• You can rotate the panel 180 degrees toward the lens. Rotating the OLED panel 180 degrees can
be useful in the following cases:
- To allow the subject to monitor the OLED screen while you use the viewfinder.
- To allow the camcorder to be operated with the wireless controller from the front.
NOTES
• When you rotate the OLED panel, video noise may appear on the screen momentarily. This is not a
malfunction.
• You can adjust the brightness of the OLED screen with the
q
>
[OLED Brightness] setting or
by holding
D
pressed down for more than 2 seconds. You can also adjust the brightness of the
viewfinder with the
q
>
[VF Brightness] setting.
• Adjusting the brightness does not affect the brightness of the recordings.
• Using a brighter setting will shorten the effective usage time of the battery pack.

About the OLED and viewfinder screens:
The screens are produced using extremely high-
precision manufacturing techniques, with more than 99.99% of the pixels operating to specification.
Less than 0.01% of the pixels may occasionally misfire or appear as black dots. Misfired pixels in
the viewfinder may appear instead as white dots. This has no effect on the recorded image and
does not constitute a malfunction.
