Recording
Use the Viewfinder
The camcorder’s viewfinder is a miniature monitor that displays the picture seen by the camcorder when recording.
Adjust Viewfinder for Convenient Viewing
For convenient viewing, rotate the viewfinder horizontally, pull it out from the camcorder, and adjust the eyepiece.

Cautions: Do not pull on the eyepiece. Do not force the eyepiece to rotate completely around. This might damage the viewfinder and/or the camcorder.
When carrying the camcorder with the shoulder strap, put the viewfinder back in its original position. This helps prevent possible damage to the viewfinder from bumping against your body as you move.
Eyepiece Focus Control
The eyepiece focus control lets you set the focus of the viewfinder for your vision. If you wear eyeglasses, you probably can operate the camcorder without them.
It is easiest to set the correct focus by focusing on one of the viewfinder’s on- screen displays. Look through the
viewfinder and adjust the eyepiece focus control for your vision.
The eyepiece focus control does not affect the focus of the picture actually recorded by the camcorder.
