Viewfinder

The camcorder’s viewfinder is a miniature color LCD monitor that displays the picture seen by the camcorder. The viewfinder can also be used for viewing the tape during playback.

Caution: When carrying the camcorder with the shoulder strap, rotate the viewfinder down. This helps prevent possible damage to the viewfinder from bumping against your body as you move.

Eyepiece Focus Control

The eyepiece focus control lets you set the focus of the viewfinder for your personal vision. If you wear eyeglasses, you can probably operate the camcorder without them.

The eyepiece focus control does not affect the focus of the picture actually recorded by the camcorder.

1.Pull the viewfinder out into operating position.

2.Turn the eyepiece focus control until you clearly focus on one of the viewfinder displays (such as the time counter).

Tilt Adjustment

For convenient viewing, the viewfinder can be raised approximately 75°.

Caution: Do not force the viewfinder to rotate completely around. This will damage the viewfinder and/or the camcorder.
