Preparing the Camera
Adjust the viewfinder
•Turn the POWER dial to MOVIE mode. Extend the viewfinder straight out, then adjust the viewfinder focusing lever to suit your eyesight.
•The viewfinder extends straight out 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.
Prepare the lens cap
•Attach the cord to the lens cap, and pass the grip belt through the loop on the cord.
•Hook the lens cap on to the grip belt while you are recording, and place it over the lens when you have finished.

Fasten the grip belt
•Release the Velcro fastening and hold
the camera with your right hand while you adjust the belt with your left. Your index finger should reach the zoom control and photo button, and your thumb should reach the start/stop button comfortably.
•When holding the camera, be sure to avoid touching the lens and the microphone.
Be careful not to leave the viewfinder exposed to bright sunlight, or it will melt. (The light is concentrated by the viewfinder lens.) When not using the viewfinder, return it to its retracted position.
