To use the camcorder with your left eye

By fitting a left eye adaptor to the DXF-801, you can use 
the camcorder with your left eye to the viewfinder.

You cannot stow the camcorder in the carrying case with 
the left-eye adaptor attached.

For details, consult your Sony dealer.

Adjusting the viewfinder position

To adjust the viewfinder left-to-right position, loosen the 
left-to-right fixing ring, and to adjust the front-to-back 
position, loosen the front-to-back position locking knob.

Adjusting the eyepiece focus and 
the screen (brightness, contrast, 
and outline emphasis)

To adjust the eyepiece focus

First focus the image with the lens, then adjust the 
eyepiece focusing knob to get the clearest viewfinder 

image for your eyesight. The adjustment range is from –3 
to 0 diopters.
Using an optional part of the DXF-801 allows you to 
modify the adjustment range to –2 to +1 diopters or – 0.5 
to +3 diopters.

For details, consult your Sony dealer.

To adjust contrast and brightness

Carry out these adjustments with the color bars displayed.

1

Set the OUTPUT/DCC switch to the BARS position.

The color bars appear in the viewfinder.

2

Watching the color bars, turn the CONTRAST and 
BRIGHT controls to adjust the contrast and 
brightness.

3

Return the OUTPUT/DCC switch to its original 
position.

To adjust the outline emphasis

Turning the PEAKING control changes the degree of 
outline emphasis in the viewfinder image, to make 
focusing easier.

Attaching a 5-inch electronic 
viewfinder

You can attach an optional DXF-51 (5-inch) Electronic 
Viewfinder. To attach it, an Accessory Shoe Kit (part 
number A-8274-968-B) is required.

For details, contact your Sony dealer.

Remove the cover of the grip and attach the shoe and 
stopper screw (of the Accessory Shoe Kit).
