Overview; Usage Notes - Sony HDVF-L10 Operation Manual

Overview

The HDVF-L10 is a 3.5-inch LCD color
viewfinder.
This viewfinder has the following features:
High resolution and wide visual angle
The viewfinder features a high-resolution LCD,
for a horizontal resolution of 500 TV lines or
more.
The large LCD screen allows you to shoot with
ease when the eyepiece is unattached.
Stable picture
The LCD screen provides a stable image without
distortion, regardless of screen brightness.
High-performance loupe
The 2-group 3-element lens (including aspheric
lens) delivers pictures with low distortion and
allows adjustment over a wide range of visibility.
Adjustable, detachable eyepiece and viewfinder
barrel
Raising or detaching the eyepiece allows you to
shoot while viewing the viewfinder screen from a
distance. Raising or detaching the viewfinder
barrel allows you to shoot while viewing the LCD
screen directly.

Usage Notes

Place of use
When using the viewfinder in low temperature
environments, dynamic resolution levels may
decrease during the period immediately after you
turn on the power.
The loupe may become fogged up, making
viewing on the screen difficult, when it is exposed
to extreme changes in temperature and humidity.
If you want to shoot in such an environment, flip-
up the viewfinder barrel/eyepiece and look
directly at the LCD screen or its mirror image.
Condensation
If the unit is suddenly taken from a cold to a warm
location, or if ambient temperature suddenly
rises, moisture may form on the outer surface of
the unit and/or inside of the unit. This is known as
condensation. If condensation occurs, turn off the
unit and wait until the condensation clears before
operating the unit. Operating the unit while
condensation is present may damage the unit.
Permanently lit or flashing pixels on the
LCD panel
The LCD panel fitted to this unit is manufactured
with high precision technology, giving a
functioning pixel ratio of at least 99.99%. Thus a
very small proportion of pixels may be "stuck",
either always off (black), always on (red, green,
or blue), or flashing. In addition, over a long
period of use, because of the physical
characteristics of the liquid crystal display, such
"stuck" pixels may appear spontaneously. These
problems are not a malfunction.
LCD image display
Due the physical characteristics of LCD panels,
there may be a decrease in brightness or change in
color temperature over a long period of use.
These problems are not a malfunction.
In addition, these occurrences will not affect
recorded data.
