Adjusting the LCD Monitor and Viewfinder

Preparations

The LCD monitor turns on when it is opened and

turns off when it is returned to the park position.

Adjusting the angle

It can be rotated as much as 90 degrees in the

direction facing the subject and as much as 180

degrees in the opposite direction.

When you rotate it 90 degrees toward the subject,

the image on the monitor becomes upside down,

indicating the mirror image of the subject. The

display direction of the textual information is

converted to the readable direction.

Adjusting the backlight

Press the LCD BRIGHT button

(page 15)

adjust the brightness of the backlight.

Adjusting the color, contrast, and

brightness

These adjustments can be made using “LCD”

(page 91)

in the LCD/VF SET menu. These

adjustments of the LCD monitor have no effect on

pictures being recorded.

If the picture on the LCD monitor is hard to view

under bright ambient light, you can use the

viewfinder to check the picture.

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 in the LCD

monitor, using “EVF”

(page 91)

in the LCD/VF

SET menu. Change the “Power” setting from

“Auto” to “On.”

Adjusting the focus in the EVF

The eyepiece focusing (diopter compensation)

knob

(page 15)

(PMW-200)/

(page 13)

(PMW-

100) enables adjustment to match the eyesight of

the operator, who can then view the image clearly

through the eyepiece.

Adjusting the backlight

The brightness of the backlight for the EVF can

be switched between High and Low.

Set “Backlight” in “EVF”

(page 91)

in the LCD/

VF SET menu.

Switching between color and

monochrome modes

For the EVF screen, color or monochrome display

can be selected.

Set “Mode” in “EVF”

(page 91)

in the LCD/VF

SET menu.

Select “B&W” if checking the subject and

focusing are easier on the monochrome display.

If you assign “EVF Mode” to one of the

assignable buttons

(page 49)

, you can switch

between color and monochrome by pressing the

button.

Adjusting the contrast and brightness

Use “EVF”

(page 91)

in the LCD/VF SET menu
