Notes
• Attach/remove the viewfinder while the camcorder is
turned off.
• When using the camcorder with the DVF-L700
attached, turn the camcorder on while the POWER
switch of the DVF-L700 is set to ON.
For details about attaching the viewfinder, refer to
the operating instructions of the viewfinder.
1
Loosen the fixing ring of the viewfinder
shoe, align the slot of the viewfinder,
then attach the viewfinder by sliding it
horizontally.
2
Tighten the fixing ring after
determining the left and right position
of the viewfinder, then connect the
viewfinder cable to the VF connector of
the camcorder.
To remove the viewfinder
Loosen the fixing ring for the viewfinder, raise
the stopper, then remove the viewfinder by
sliding it in the reverse direction for when
attaching.
Before recording, make the basic settings, as
required.
Switch by setting “Frequency” in “System
Setting”
of the System menu.
After switching this setting, the camcorder will
automatically restart, depending on the setting
value.
Note
The system frequency setting cannot be changed during
recording or playback.
You can switch between the “Cine EI” mode
(allows you to use the camcorder as a film
camera, where the movie is edited post-
production, rather than at the time of shooting),
and the “Custom” mode (allows you to edit
pictures as you make the movie, by accessing all
the setting items).
Switch the mode by using “Shooting Mode” in
“Base Setting”
of the System menu.
Set the predominant signal format to be used.
Set the format by using “Main Operation” in
“Base Setting”
of the System menu.
The RAW signal is recorded on the AXR-R5
attached to the camcorder, and the YPbPr or RGB
signal is recorded on the SxS memory card in the
camcorder. Since the RGB signal is output from
the SDI 1/2 connector of the camcorder, record it
on an external device such as SR-R1.
Select the format from YPbPr/RGB/RAW when
“Shooting Mode” is set to “Cine EI,” and from
YPbPr/RGB when “Shooting Mode” is set to
“Custom.”
Note
The RAW signal can be selected only when attaching the
AXS-R5. If the AXS-R5 is not attached, “Main
Operation” is locked to “YPbPr” or “RGB.”
