Using the Sun Hood

It is recommended that you use the supplied sun hood when recording outdoors on a sunny day or at a brightly illuminated location.

Note:

•You can operate the Operation buttons below the LCD screen with the sun hood attached.

Removing the Sun Hood

Carefully lift the top clip up with your thumb while supporting the sun hood with your hand (Q). Then pull the sun hood in the direction of the arrow (W) to release the bottom clip.

Cautions:

•Be sure to close the sun hood before trans- porting the VIEWCAM. If the VIEWCAM is trans- ported with the sun hood open, the sun hood may fall off or become damaged.

•Do not leave the sun hood in an unventilated car in direct sunlight. The high temperature may cause a deformation of the casing.
