Using The Bkw-401 Viewfinder Rotation Bracket; Detaching The Eyepiece - Sony PDW-700 Operation Manual

Using the BKW-401 Viewfinder Rotation
Bracket
By fitting a BKW-401 Viewfinder Rotation
Bracket (sold separately), you can rotate the
viewfinder out of the way so that your right leg
does not hit the viewfinder while you are carrying
the camcorder.
1
Turn the arm of the rotation
mechanism assembly of the BKW-401
in the direction of the arrow in the
following illustration.
Next, using a hexagonal wrench 3 mm across
flats, remove the bolts (M4×8), to separate
the rotation mechanism assembly from the
viewfinder front-back positioning
mechanism assembly.
2
Remove the two M3×10 hexagon socket
bolts from the front-back positioning
mechanism assembly, together with the
washers.
(Take care not to lose these bolts and
washers.)

3
Using a hexagonal wrench 2.5 mm
across flats, detach the viewfinder shoe
from the camcorder body.
4
Using the two bolts (M3×10) and
washers removed in step 2, attach the
rotation mechanism assembly of the
BKW-401 to the camcorder.

Detaching the eyepiece

Removing the eyepiece gives a clearer view of the
screen from further away. It is also easy to
remove dust from the viewfinder screen and
mirror when the eyepiece is detached.
1
Turn the eyepiece locking ring fully
counterclockwise, to align the red
marks on the locking ring and the
viewfinder barrel.
