Using the Viewfinder

Adjusting the angle of the viewfinder
You can record images from a variety of angles by adjusting the angle of the viewfinder.
•
Be careful not to catch your finger, etc. in the viewfinder.
•
When adjusting the angle of the viewfinder, be careful not to apply too much force, as
this may cause malfunction.
•
Return the viewfinder to its original position completely when the camera is not in use.
•
When the viewfinder surface becomes dirty, remove the Eyecup, blow away the dust with a
blower (commercially available), and wipe the surface lightly with a dry, soft cloth.
•
Use of an external flash (optional) will limit the maximum angle to which the viewfinder can be
adjusted.
