Adjusting the Viewfinder

If the picture on the LCD monitor is hard to view
under bright ambient light, you can use the
viewfinder to check the picture.
You can adjust the display conditions of the
viewfinder according to your current lighting
conditions.
These adjustments of the viewfinder have no
effect on pictures being recorded.
Caution
Do not leave the camcorder with the eyepiece of
the viewfinder facing the sun. Direct sunlight can
enter through the eyepiece, be focused in the
viewfinder, and cause fire.
Hereafter the viewfinder is referred to as "EVF"
(abbreviation of Electronic Viewfinder).
Turning the EVF on/off
With the factory setting, the EVF is turned on
when the LCD monitor is in its park position or is
rotated to face the subject.
You can change the setting so that the EVF is
always on regardless of the status of the LCD
monitor, using "EVF" (page 129) of the LCD/VF
SET menu. Change the "Power" setting from
"Auto" to "On."
Adjusting the focus in the viewfinder
The eyepiece focusing (diopter compensation)
knob enables adjustment to match the eyesight of
operator so that the operator can view the image
clearly in the eyepiece.
