Recording a picture

The color of the LCD screen

You can adjust it using the LCD COLOR item in the menu settings (p. 102).

Even if you adjust the screen using LCD BRT, LCD COLOR, or the LCD screen backlight

The recorded picture will not be affected.

The setting of the LCD BACKLIGHT switch

Normally, set it to ON. When you use the camcorder in bright conditions using the battery pack, set it to OFF. This position saves battery power.

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.

Pull out the viewfinder and move the viewfinder lens adjustment lever.

Viewfinder backlight

You can change the brightness of the backlight when using the battery pack. Set up the VF B.L. item in the menu settings (p. 102).

Even if you adjust the viewfinder backlight

The recorded picture will not be affected.
