Recording a picture

After recording

(1) Set the POWER switch to OFF (CHG).

(2) Close the LCD panel.

(3) Eject the cassette.

(4) Remove the battery pack.

Adjusting the viewfinder

If you record pictures with the LCD panel closed, check the picture with the viewfinder. Adjust the viewfinder lens to your eyesight so that the indicators in the viewfinder come into sharp focus.

Lift up the viewfinder and move the viewfinder lens adjustment lever.

To adjust the brightness of the viewfinder screen, use the VF B.L. item in the menu settings (p. 104).

Even if you adjust the viewfinder screen backlight

The recorded picture will not be affected.

When the shooting conditions are too bright

Use the supplied large eyecup. Fit it onto the camcorder by stretching the corners a little. You can attach it with the large part of it located on both left and right.
