Preparing the Camcorder

Adjusting the viewfinder

Set the camcorder to CAMERA mode. Adjust the viewfinder focusing lever to suit your eyesight.

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.

Be careful not to leave the viewfinder exposed to bright sunlight, or it will melt. (The light is concentrated by the viewfinder lens.) Do not direct the viewfinder to the sun.

Preparing 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.

Fastening the grip belt

Release the Velcro fastening and hold the camcorder 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.
