Using The Lcd Screen - Canon ZR Instruction Manual

Using the LCD Screen

Changing the angle of the LCD screen
You can choose the angle of the screen
that suits you best by tilting it upwards and
away from you.
• You can use the screen for low and high-
angle recording. By lifting the screen up
to face the opposite direction, you can
also make recordings of yourself, or
allow the subject to monitor recording
(see p. 18).
Attaching the FU-100 Finder Unit
You can convert the LCD screen to a viewfinder by attaching the FU-100 Finder Unit.
1. Slide across the RELEASE switch and pull off the protective cap.
2. Attach the finder unit base-first and click the top into place.
3. To remove, slide and hold the RELEASE switch while gently pulling
the unit off the LCD screen, from the top first.
Notes:
• Since the Finder Unit magnifies light, be careful not to leave it exposed to
bright sunlight or it may damage the unit or the LCD screen when attached to
the camera. You may be able to move the Finder Unit out of direct sunlight by
changing the angle of the LCD screen. When not attached to the camera, always
replace its protective cap, and never look through the Finder Unit directly at the
sun or other bright light sources.
• The Finder Unit comes complete with a case that you can attach to a belt or the
camera strap (p. 60).
• You can turn the viewfinder focusing wheel (to clearly see the display) to suit
your eyesight.
• Avoid touching the LCD screen or the mirror inside the Finder Unit.
• Do not hold the camcorder by the LCD panel.
• Bright light falling on the LCD screen may cause glare that makes it difficult
for you to view the image. In this case, attach the finder unit. You are also able
to adjust the brightness/backlight of the screen (p. 65).
