Introduction

   This 4-inch CRT viewfinder is designed to be used with a convertible camera (such as 

the AW-E350, AW-E650, AW-E655, AW-E750 or AW-E860).

   The studio SDI card (AW-PB506A) or studio card (AW-PB305A) is required in order to 

attach the unit to the convertible camera.

Notes

   The AW-VF64 cannot be installed to the following models;  

AW-E300, AW-E300A, AW-E300S, AW-E600, AW-E800, AW-E800A, AW-RP605,  
AW-PB605

  The ranges within which the operation of this unit is guaranteed are as follows:

Supply voltage: 

10.5 V to 15.0 V

Ambient temperature:  +32°F to +104°F (0°C to +40°C)

   These ranges are more limited than the guaranteed operating ranges of other 

convertible cameras.  
Ensure that the unit is used within the ranges given here without fail: otherwise, 
trouble may result.

   Do not connect or disconnect the EVF connector while the unit’s power is still on. 

Doing so may result in viewfinder trouble.

   Noise may interfere with the pictures shown if the unit is used in a location with strong 

electrical or magnetic fields, such as near the transmitting antenna of a TV, radio 
broadcast station, or near a motor.

   When the viewfinder unit is to be discarded at the end of its service life, ask a 

specialized contractor to dispose of it properly in order to protect the environment.
