Adjusting the Viewfinder

Depending on the eyesight of the operator — whether longsighted or shortsighted — the optimal position of the viewfinder image varies. Adjusting brightness, contrast, and so on, improves the visibility of the viewfinder screen. Although these adjustments may make the viewfinder image clearer, they have no effect on the output video signal from the camcorder.

Detaching the Viewfinder

Remove any microphone from the viewfinder beforehand.

1 Power off this unit, then unplug the viewfinder connector from the VF connector.

2 Loosen the viewfinder left-to-right positioning ring 1, and with the stopper raised 2, detach the viewfinder 3.

To attach the viewfinder

Reverse the detaching procedure. (Note that it is not necessary to raise the stopper.)

Note

Note the following points when mounting the viewfinder.

•Be sure to power off this unit before plugging the viewfinder connector into the VF connector on this unit. If the connector is plugged in while the power is on, the viewfinder may not operate correctly.

•Make sure that the viewfinder connector is pushed fully into the VF connector on the unit. If the connector is not firmly connected, the image may break up, or the tally light may not operate properly.

For details, contact your Sony dealer.

Adjusting the Viewfinder Position

To adjust the viewfinder left-to-right position, loosen the left-to-right positioning ring, and to adjust the front-to- back position, loosen the front-to-back positioning knob.

Note

When the viewfinder is attached, do not leave the camera (or the camcorder) with the eyepiece facing the sun. Direct sunlight can enter through the eyepiece, be focused in the viewfinder and cause fire.
