Cautions on LCD Monitor Screen
• Do not touch the LCD screen with your fingers as the screen could get dirty and the
picture will not be seen clearly. If the LCD screen becomes dirty, use a soft cloth to wipe off
the dirt.
• If the camcorder is used in a cold place and becomes too cold, the LCD screen will be dim
for a while after the power is turned on. When the temperature inside the camcorder rises,
the brightness of the picture will become normal.
• Do not hold by the LCD monitor as this could cause a malfunction.
• Open the LCD monitor by 90° before changing its direction. If you were to attempt to
invert its direction before opening it completely, it could cause a malfunction.
• The LCD monitor cannot be closed if it is tilted.
• Close the LCD monitor after making sure it its parallel with the camcorder. If you were to
close the monitor while it faces the same direction as the lens or it is diagonal, it could
damage the LCD monitor.
• Do not disassemble the LCD monitor as this might cause a malfunction.
• When opening the LCD monitor, be careful that no water droplets adhere the monitor
screen and that no water or dust enters the camcorder through the gap as it could cause a
malfunction.
Adjusting the Electronic Viewfinder
The electronic viewfinder adjusts simply by pivoting it to a position where it is
comfortable and easy to see through. Place the viewfinder back in its original position
before storing the camcorder in its case or carrying the camera recorder around to avoid
damaging the viewfinder or camcorder.
