CAUTION
When the viewfinder is attached, do not leave the
viewfinder lens facing toward the sun. Direct sunlight
can enter through the lens, be focused in the viewfinder
and cause fire.
Notes
When attaching the viewfinder, make notes of the
following points.
• Be sure to power off the camera before coupling the
viewfinder connector to the camera's VF connector
(rectangular). If you make this connection when the
camera power is on, the viewfinder may not function
properly.
• Couple the viewfinder connector firmly to the
camera's VF connector (rectangular). If the coupling is
loose, noise may appear on the video or the tally
indicator may not operate properly.
