Adjusting the Viewfinder
Chapter 2 Preparation
To adjust the eyepiece focus
First focus the image with the lens, then adjust the
eyepiece focusing knob to get the clearest viewfinder
image for your eyesight. The adjustment range is from –3
to 0 diopters.
Using an optional part of the DXF-801 allows you to
modify the adjustment range to –2 to +1 diopters or – 0.5
to +3 diopters.
For details, consult your Sony dealer.
To adjust contrast and brightness
Carry out these adjustments with the color bars displayed.
1
Set the OUTPUT/DCC switch to the BARS position.
The color bars appear in the viewfinder.
2
Watching the color bars, turn the CONTRAST and
BRIGHT controls to adjust the contrast and
brightness.
3
Return the OUTPUT/DCC switch to its original
position.
To adjust the outline emphasis
Turning the PEAKING control changes the degree of
outline emphasis in the viewfinder image, to make
focusing easier.
