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 OLED screen. When attaching the lens hood,
grip belt and straps, be careful not to drop the camcorder by placing it on a table or other stable
surface.
Using the Lens Hood and Lens Cap
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. 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.
1 Remove the lens cap.
2 Place the lens hood on the front of the lens so that the
groove on the lens hood is aligned with the bottom of
the lens (
), and then turn the lens hood clockwise
until it stops with a click
().
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.
Using the Viewfinder
If it is difficult to use the OLED screen, you can use the viewfinder, which can be tilted 45 degrees
upward. You can also use the viewfinder when you rotate the OLED panel 180 degrees to let the
subject watch the recording.
1 Pull out the viewfinder.
2 Use the power switch to turn on the camcorder.
3 Adjust the viewfinder using the dioptric adjustment
lever.
You can close the OLED panel or rotate it toward the
subject as you prefer.
You can tilt the viewfinder 45 degrees upward.
