Preparing The Camcorder - Canon MV530 Instruction Manual

Preparing the Camcorder

Adjust the viewfinder
E
• Set the camcorder to TAPE CAMERA
mode. Extend the viewfinder straight
out, then adjust the viewfinder focusing
lever to suit your eyesight.
• Rotate the viewfinder to an angle that
allows you to view comfortably. Store
the camcorder with the viewfinder flush
with the body of the camcorder.
• To view with the viewfinder, make sure
the LCD panel is either turned so that the
subject can monitor viewing, or totally
closed with the screen facing inwards.
• Be careful not to leave the viewfinder exposed to bright sunlight, or it will
melt. (The light is concentrated by the viewfinder lens.) Adjust the angle of the
viewfinder to prevent sunlight from entering.
Prepare the lens cap
• Attach the cord to the lens cap, and
pass the grip belt through the loop on
the cord.
• Hook the lens cap on to the grip belt
while you are recording, and place it
over the lens when you have finished.
Fasten the grip belt
• Release the Velcro fastening and hold
the camcorder with your right hand
while you adjust the belt with your left.
Your index finger should reach the
zoom control and photo button, and
your thumb should reach the start/stop
button comfortably.
