To adjust the eyepiece focus

First focus the image with the lens, then adjust the eyepiece focusing knob or eyepiece focusing ring to get the clearest viewfinder image for your eyesight.

The visual adjustment range is –3.5D to +0.4D.

You can change the adjustment range by installing an exchange part. The adjustment range after the exchange is

–3.6D to –0.8D, or –2.8D to +2.0D.

Contact a Sony service representative for more information about exchange parts.

To adjust contrast and brightness

Carry out these adjustments with the color bars displayed.

1 Set the OUTPUT/DCC switch to the BARS position.

The color bars appear on the viewfinder screen.

2 Watching the color bars, turn the CONTRAST and BRIGHT controls to adjust the contrast and brightness.

3 Return the OUTPUT/DCC switch to its original position.

To adjust the outline emphasis

You can rotate the PEAKING control to adjust the peaking, H detail, and V detail of the image in the viewfinder. These adjustments strengthen the outlines of the image in the viewfinder, making it easier to focus the camera.

Menu settings allow you to adjust peaking only with the PEAKING control, and to adjust H detail and V detail separately.

For details, see “Setting the Viewfinder Screen Display” on page 139.
