Viewfinder

This camera has two viewfinders; one is a miniature LCD in the viewfinder and the other is a retractable 3.2-type LCD.

Use the viewfinder that best suits the application and shooting conditions.

•The brightness and hue may differ between the images appearing on the viewfinder and LCD monitor and those displayed on a TV monitor. To see how the final images will appear, check them on a TV monitor.

Using the viewfinder

1 Set the POWER/Mode selector switch to ON (Page 25) and check that images appear in the viewfinder.

2 Adjust the viewfinder’s angle so that the screen is positioned where it is easiest to see.

•You can move the viewfinder out to about 90° perpendicular to the camera.

3 Adjust the diopter adjustment dial so that you can see the characters on the viewfinder screen clearly.

Eye piece

Do not allow the eyepiece of the viewfinder to remain in direct contact with sunlight or other strong light sources.

•Internal components may be damaged and fire may be caused if light accumulates through the lens.

Fitting the eye cup

Attach the eye cup by aligning the ridges on the eye cup holder with the grooves on the eye cup and fitting them together.

•Turning the eye cup after attaching it may cause the eye cup holder to come off. If the eyecup holder does come off, see “Cleaning the Viewfinder” (Page 88) for details on how to refit it.
