Preparation
This camera has two viewfinders; one is a
miniature LCD in the viewfinder and the other is a
retractable 3.5-inch LCD.
Use the viewfinder that best suits the application
and shooting conditions.
The brightness and hue may differ between the •
images appearing on the viewfinder and LCD
monitor and those displayed on a TV monitor. To
see how the final images will appear, check them
on a TV monitor.
Using the viewfinder
1
Set the POWER switch to ON and check that
images appear in the viewfinder.
2
Adjust the viewfinder’s angle so that the
screen is positioned where it is easiest to
see.
You can move the viewfinder out to about •
90° perpendicular to the camera.
3
Adjust the diopter adjustment dial so
that you can see the characters on the
viewfinder screen clearly.

Eye cup
Do not allow the eyepiece of the viewfinder
to remain in direct contact with sunlight or
other strong light sources.
Internal components may be damaged and fire •
may be caused if light accumulates through
the lens.
When the LCD monitor is open, the viewfinder •
may not display anything. Close the LCD
monitor.

Fitting the eye cup
Attach the eye cup by aligning the projections on
the eye cup holder and eye cup and fitting them
together.
Turning the eye cup after attaching it may •
cause the eye cup holder to come off. If the
eyecup holder does come off, see “Cleaning
the Viewfinder” (Page 71 of Vol.2) for details
on how to refit it.

Projections
The pixels of the LCD monitor are controlled •
to obtain high precision with 99.99 % of the
effective pixels. This leaves less than 0.01 %
of pixels that may not light or may remain on
all the time. These phenomena are normal and
will have no effect on the images you shoot.
Screen burn-in may occur in the LCD monitor. •
However, this is not a defect.
