Cautions
Do not force the viewfinder
to rotate completely
around. This will damage
the viewfinder and/or the
camcorder.
When carrying the cam-
corder with the shoulder
strap, put the viewfinder
down to help prevent
possible damage to the
viewfinder from bumping
against your body as you
move.
Use the LCD Monitor or Viewfinder to See
What You Record
(Continued)
Use the Viewfinder
The camcorder’s viewfinder is a miniature monitor that displays the picture seen
by the camcorder when recording. When the LCD monitor is open more than
60˚, the viewfinder turns off.
Adjust Viewfinder for Convenient
Viewing
For convenient viewing, rotate the
viewfinder up or down.
Eyepiece Focus Control
The eyepiece focus control lets you set
the focus of the viewfinder for your
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.
