Viewfinder

This camera has two viewfinders; one is a miniature LCD in the viewfinder and the other is a retractable 3.5-inch 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 switch to ON and check that images appear in the viewfinder.

• Keep the LCD monitor closed.

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

You can move the view finder out to about 90° perpendicular to the camera.

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

Do not point the viewfinder at the sun.

Doing so may damage the parts inside.

Fitting the eye cup

Attach the eye cup by aligning the projections on the eye cup holder and 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 83) for details on how to refit it.
