Recording

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.

Eyepiece Focus Control

Viewfinder

180°

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.

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 and in to help prevent possible damage to the viewfinder from bumping against your body as you move.

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.
