Preparing The Camcorder - Canon MV MVX2i Instruction Manual

Preparing the Camcorder

Adjusting the Viewfinder
• Set the camcorder to TAPE CAMERA
mode. Adjust the viewfinder focusing
lever to suit your eyesight.
• 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.) Do not direct
the viewfinder to the sun.
Attaching the Lens Hood
Since the lens hood cuts stray light that
may cause flare and ghost images and
protects the lens, be sure to attach the
hood when you are recording.
1. Align the hood to the lens
with the Canon logo facing to
the left.
2. Twist it into position
(clockwise), so that the Canon
logo is to the top.
• Make sure attach the hood to the
camcorder horizontally.
