Viewfinder

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

When carrying or storing the camcorder, return the viewfinder to the original position to prevent possible damage.

Eyepiece Focus

Control

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

Set the correct focus by focusing on one of the viewfinder’s displays (such as the

counter). 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.
