Adjust Viewfinder for Convenient Viewing
For convenient viewing, slide the viewfinder out from the camcorder and
rotate it up and down.
Eyepiece Focus Control
The eyepiece focus control lets you set
the focus of the viewfinder for your
vision. If you wear eyeglasses, you
probably can operate the camcorder
without them.
It is easiest to set the correct focus by
focusing on one of the viewfinder’s on-
screen displays. Look through the
viewfinder and adjust the eyepiece focus
control for your vision.
The eyepiece focus control does not affect
the focus of the picture actually recorded
by the camcorder.
Cautions
Do not force the viewfinder
to rotate completely
around. This will damage
the viewfinder and/or the
camcorder.
When carrying the
camcorder with the
shoulder strap, put the
viewfinder down and in to
help prevent possible
damage to the viewfinder
from bumping against your
body as you move.
Use the Viewfinder to See What You Record
The camcorder’s viewfinder is a miniature monitor that displays the
picture seen by the camcorder when recording.
