Recording
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. This helps prevent
possible damage to
the viewfinder from
bumping against your
body as you move.
Viewfinder
The camcorder’s viewfinder is a miniature monitor that displays the picture
seen by the camcorder when recording.
Adjust Viewfinder for Convenient Viewing
For convenient viewing, you can 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
personal vision. If you wear eyeglasses, you probably can operate the camcorder
without them.

Eyepiece Focus Control
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.
