Note
There is a little wear on the battery pack which is installed with the camcorder. However, for getting remaining battery time indicated correctly, leave the battery pack installed after use.
To focus the viewfinder lens
If you cannot see the indicators in the viewfinder clearly, or after someone else has used the camcorder, focus the viewfinder lens. Move the viewfinder lens adjustment lever so that the indicators in the viewfinder come into sharp focus.
Note on the lighting aperture
If direct sunlight enters the lighting aperture, the picture in the viewfinder appears brighter. When this happens, colors in the viewfinder may change.
