Viewfinder This camera has two viewfinders; one is a miniature LCD in the viewfinder and the other is a retractable 3.45-type LCD. Use the viewfinder that best suits the application and shooting conditions. • The brightness and hue may differ between the images appearing on the viewfinder and LCD monitor and those displayed on a TV monitor. To see how the final images will appear, check them on a TV monitor. When the LCD monitor is open, the viewfinder may not display anything. Close the LCD monitor. Using the viewfinder 1 Set the POWER/MODE switch to ON and check that images appear in the viewfinder. 2 Adjust the viewfinder's angle so that the screen is positioned where it is easiest to see. • You can move the view finder out to about 90 degrees perpendicular to the camerarecorder. 3 Adjust the Viewfinder diopter dial so that you can see the characters on the viewfinder screen clearly. Viewfinder diopter dial • The pixels of the LCD monitor are controlled to obtain high precision with 99.99 % of the effective pixels. This leaves less than 0.01 % of pixels that may not light or may remain on all the time. These phenomena are normal and will have no effect on the images you shoot. • Screen burn-in may occur in the LCD monitor. However, this is not a defect. • The following are all viewfinder phenomena, and are not faults. Furthermore, they have no effect on recording with this camera or on output signals. ·· Primary colors (green, blue, red) may be seen in cases such as moving your line of sight within the viewfinder. ·· At low temperatures, the screen may appear with a pink tint. ·· When power is not supplied to the camera black lines may appear on the screen. These disappear when power is supplied. • Image persistence may increase at low temperatures. This is not a fault. • When the camera recorder is very cold, the LCD monitor is darker than normal immediately after switching the power ON. As the internal temperature increases it returns to normal. Eye piece Do not point the eye piece at the sun or other strong light source. • Light concentrated by the lens could damage internal components and poses a fire hazard. 6
