Adjusting the Viewfinder
Chapter 2 Preparations
Adjusting the Viewfinder
Depending on the eyesight of the operator — whether
longsighted or shortsighted — the optimal position of the
viewfinder image varies. Adjusting brightness, contrast,
and so on, improves the visibility of the viewfinder screen.
Although these adjustments may make the viewfinder
image clearer, they have no effect on the output video
signal from the camcorder.
(The description shown below uses the DXF-801/801CE
illustrations; it also applies to the DXF-20W.)
Since the fitting dimensions are different on the camera
and viewfinder, to attach a DXF-20W (not supplied) to the
PDW-F330, it is necessary to change the fitting (supplied
with the DXF-20W).
Detaching the Viewfinder
Remove any microphone from the viewfinder beforehand.
1
Power off this unit, then unplug the viewfinder
connector from the VF connector.
2
Loosen the viewfinder left-to-right positioning ring
1, and with the stopper raised 2, detach the
viewfinder 3.
To attach the viewfinder
Reverse the detaching procedure. (Note that it is not
necessary to raise the stopper.)
Note the following points when mounting the viewfinder.
• Be sure to power off this unit before plugging the
viewfinder connector into the VF connector on this unit.
If the connector is plugged in while the power is on, the
viewfinder may not operate correctly.
• Make sure that the viewfinder connector is pushed fully
into the VF connector on the unit. If the connector is not
firmly connected, the image may break up, or the tally
light may not operate properly.
Using a left eye adaptor (DXF-801 only)
By fitting a left eye adaptor, you can use the camcorder
with your left eye to the viewfinder.
You cannot stow the camcorder in the carrying case with
the left-eye adaptor attached.
For details, consult your Sony dealer.
Adjusting the Viewfinder Position
To adjust the viewfinder left-to-right position, loosen the
left-to-right positioning ring, and to adjust the front-to-
back position, loosen the front-to-back positioning knob.
