Preparing the Camcorder

•If you are not interested in using the viewfinder while using the OLED screen, you can set [£OLED/VF Setup] >[OLED/VF Simul.] to [Off] to conserve the camcorder’s power. Even when [OLED/VF Simul.] is set to [Off], closing the OLED panel will automatically activate the viewfinder.

•While recording with the OLED panel facing toward the subject, you can set [£OLED/VF Setup] >[OLED

34Mirror Image] to [On] to flip the image horizontally so subjects can see a mirror image of themselves.

Adjusting the Viewfinder/OLED Screen

You can adjust the brightness, contrast, color and sharpness of the viewfinder and OLED screen independently of each other. Additionally, you can turn on the increased luminence of the OLED panel or adjust the backlight of the viewfinder. These adjustments will not affect your recordings.

Operating modes:

1Open the setup menu for the viewfinder or OLED screen.

2Select [Brightness], [Contrast], [Color], [Sharpness], [Luminence] or [Backlight] and then press SET.

3Adjust the setting and then press SET.

• Repeat steps 2 and 3 to adjust other settings as necessary.
