Recording
Viewing What You Are Recording Using the Viewfinder or
LCD Monitor
You can watch what you are recording in the black-and-white viewfinder or on
the color LCD monitor. Opening the monitor turns off the viewfinder unless
the monitor is rotated 130º or more.
Using the Viewfinder
The camcorder’s viewfinder is a miniature black-and-white monitor that
displays the picture seen by the camcorder when recording. For convenient
viewing, you can rotate the viewfinder up and 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.
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, place the
viewfinder down. This
helps prevent possible
damage to the viewfinder
from bumping against
your body as you move.
Do not direct the
viewfinder toward the sun
or key parts in the cavity
may burn.
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.
