Seeing What You
Are Recording
To see what is recording, use the viewfinder.
Using the Viewfinder
The camcorder’s viewfinder is a miniature monitor
that displays in black and white. For convenient
viewing, rotate the viewfinder up or 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.
Note: The eyepiece focus control does not
affect the focus of the image captured by the
camcorder.
Cautions
Never 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 to help prevent
possible damage to it.
