Viewfinders
This camera recorder has two viewfinders: a viewfinder that uses a small LCD, and a 3.5- inch LCD monitor.
Use the one that better suits the application and the shooting conditions concerned.
OThe brightness and colour tones may differ between the images in the viewfinder and on the LCD monitor and the images on a TV monitor.
Use the TV monitor when performing the final check of the images.
Using the viewfinder
1 Set the POWER switch on the camera recorder to ON, and check that an image appears in the viewfinder.
OKeep the LCD monitor closed.
2 Position the viewfinder where its screen images can be seen most comfortably.
OThe viewfinder can be raised perpendicularly up to angle of about 90 degrees.
3 Adjust the diopter adjustment dial in such a way that the characters on the viewfinder screen come into sharp focus.
