8-2-5 Using the BKW-401 Viewfinder Rotation Bracket

By fitting a BKW-401 Viewfinder Rotation Bracket (not supplied), you can rotate the viewfinder out of the way so that your right leg does not hit the viewfinder while you are carrying the camcorder.

Using the BKW-401 Viewfinder Rotation Bracket

To fit the BKW-401 to the camcorder, proceed as follows.

1 Turn the arm of the rotation mechanism assembly of the BKW-401 in the direction of the arrow in the following illustration. Next, using a hexagonal wrench 3 mm across flats, remove the bolts (M4 ⋅ 8), to separate the rotation mechanism assembly from the viewfinder front-back positioning mechanism assembly.

2 Remove the two M3 ⋅ 10 hexagon socket bolts from

the front-back positioning mechanism assembly, together with the washers. Take care not to lose these bolts and washers.

3 Using a hexagonal wrench 2.5 mm across flats, detach the viewfinder shoe from the camcorder body.

4 Using the two bolts (M3 ⋅ 10) and washers removed in step 2, attach the rotation mechanism assembly of the BKW-401 to the camcorder.

8-2-6 Detaching the Eyepiece

Removing the eyepiece gives a clearer view of the screen from further away. It is also easy to remove dust from the viewfinder screen and mirror when the eyepiece is detached.

1 Turn the eyepiece locking ring fully counterclockwise, to align the red marks on the locking ring and the viewfinder barrel.
