Outline

The HDVF-C30W Electronic Viewfinder is a 2.7-type screen viewfinder designed for use with high- definition color video cameras.

It has the following features.

Multiscan

In addition to the 60i format, the viewfinder also supports such formats as 24PsF and 50i being controlled by signals received from the camera.

Detachable viewfinder barrel

The bayonet-mounted viewfinder barrel can be removed with a single touch for direct viewing of the LCD screen.

Picture magnification

The picture size can be doubled vertically and horizontally to facilitate focus adjustment.

Marker indication

When the camera setting allows the center marker or safety zone marker indication, the viewfinder can set the marker indication on or off.

Grayscale display

A 10-step grayscale can be displayed at the left and right of the screen to provide a standard for fine iris adjustments.

High resolution

The viewfinder features a high-resolution LCD, for a horizontal resolution of 500 TV lines or more.

B&W display

A color or B&W picture can be selected by a viewfinder switch.

Stable picture

Changes in the brightness of the LCD screen do not result in distortion, so that the picture is always stable.

High-performance loupe

The 2-group 3-element lens delivers pictures with low distortion and allows adjustment over a wide range of visibility.

Removable eyepiece

Detaching the eyepiece allows you to shoot while viewing the viewfinder screen from a distance.

Notes

Switching to preset adjustment values

Brightness, contrast, and peaking values can be set in advance and switched to by using switches on the front panel.

Other features

Fitting a fog-proof filter (Service part number: 1-547- 341-12, not supplied) over the viewfinder lens prevents breath or vapor condensation on the lens.

•The LCD panel of this unit is a product of high- precision technology. In rare cases, there may be one or more dropout pixels or pixels (red, blue, green, etc.) which are always on. This is not a malfunction (99.99% or more effective pixels).

In addition, small bright points may be seen if the LCD panel is powered on for extended periods in a high temperature environment. This can be remedied by powering the panel off and leaving it off for about

half a day in a room temperature environment. Neither of these phenomena has any effect on the output of the camera.

•When using the viewfinder at low temperature, dynamic resolution drops just after turning the power on.

•Use a blower to remove dust from the screen.

•Do not use a solvent such as thinner to clean the screen.
