Adjusting The Shoulder Pad Position - Sony HDC1500 Series Operation Manual

Keeping the viewfinder from hitting your
leg
To keep the viewfinder from bumping your leg when
carrying the camera, install the BKW-401 Viewfinder
Rotation Bracket (optional) and rotate the viewfinder
upwards.
Note
Lock the viewfinder in a slightly forward position before
rotating it upwards. If the viewfinder is in its rearmost
position, the arm of the viewfinder rotation bracket will
strike the grip.

Adjusting the Shoulder Pad Position

You can shift the shoulder pad from its center position
(factory setting) backward by up to 10 mm (3/8 inch) or
forward by up to 25 mm (1 inch). This adjustment helps
you get the best balance for shooting with the camcorder
on your shoulder.
