Using The Bkw-401 Viewfinder Rotation Bracket; Detaching The Eyepiece - Sony PDW-530 Operation Manual

8-2-5 Using the BKW-401
Viewfinder Rotation Bracket
By fitting a BKW-401 Viewfinder Rotation Bracket (not
supplied), 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.

Using the BKW-401 Viewfinder Rotation Bracket

To fit the BKW-401 to the camcorder, proceed as follows.
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.

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.
