Adjusting the Angle of the LCD Monitor

The LCD Monitor rotates upward a maximum of 180x and downward a maximum of 90x from its normal vertical position. Trying to forcefully rotate it beyond this range could seriously damage the Movie Camera.

180˚

90˚

Remarks, etc.

Do not hold the Movie Camera by the Viewfinder or apply any pressure on it.

If sunlight or other strong light enters the Viewfinder, sparkling noise will occur on the Viewfinder screen. If you block off the light, this phenomenon disappears after a few minutes and does not affect the recorded picture.

If a subject with strong contrast or a menu is displayed in the Viewfinder, a ghost image may remain temporarily. However, this is not a malfunction and does not affect the recorded picture.

The picture seen on the LCD Monitor looks slightly stretched vertically, however, the actually recorded picture remains unaffected by this.

Return the LCD Monitor to its vertical position before closing it. Also, make sure that the Cassette Compartment is securely closed before closing the LCD Monitor.

Closing the LCD Monitor

Push the LCD Monitor close until the [3OPEN] Lever locks with a click.
