Preparing the Camcorder Preparing the Camcorder This section covers the basic preparations for the camcorder such as attaching the lens hood, adjusting the grip belt and adjusting the viewfinder and LCD screen. IMPORTANT • Be careful not to drop the camcorder when attaching, removing or adjusting the various 17 accessories. Using a table or other stable surface is recommended. Using the Lens Hood While recording, the supplied lens hood with lens barrier is effective for reducing stray light that can be the cause of lens flare and ghost images. Additionally, closing the lens barrier can help prevent fingerprints and dirt accumulation on the lens. 1 Remove the lens cap. 2 Align the mark on the lens hood with the lens hood mount index mark on the bottom of the camcorder (ቢ), and then turn the lens hood clockwise until it stops with a click (ባ). • Be careful not to deform the lens hood. • Make sure that the lens hood is aligned with the thread. • To remove the lens hood, turn it counterclockwise. NOTES About the lens cap: • Use the supplied lens cap when carrying the camcorder or storing it after use. • Note that the lens cap and the lens hood with lens barrier cannot be used simultaneously.
