Preparing the Camera

Adjust the viewfinder

In record pause mode, adjust the viewfinder focusing lever to suit your eyesight.

The viewfinder extends straight out and rotates upwards for comfortable viewing. Store the camera with the viewfinder flush with the body of the camera.

To view with the viewfinder, make sure the LCD panel is either turned so that the subject can monitor viewing, or totally closed with the screen facing inwards.

Attach the shoulder strap

For extra security and portability, attach the shoulder strap before using the camera.
