Preparing the Camcorder
Adjust the viewfinder
•Set the camcorder to TAPE CAMERA mode. Extend the viewfinder straight out and rotate it upwards, then adjust
the viewfinder focusing lever to suit your eyesight.
• Rotate the viewfinder to an angle that allows you to view comfortably. Store the camcorder with the viewfinder flush with the body of the camcorder.
• 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.) Adjust the angle of the viewfinder to prevent sunlight from entering.
Attaching the Lens Hood
Additional | Information |
Since the lens hood cuts stray light that may cause flare and ghost images and protects the lens, be sure to attach the hood when you are recording.
1.Align the hood to the lens with the Canon logo facing to the left.
2.Twist it into position (clockwise), so that the Canon logo is to the top.
•Make sure attach the hood to the camcorder horizontally.
