The camcorder's viewfinder is a miniature black-and-white monitor that displays the picture seen by the
camcorder. The viewfinder can also be used for viewing the tape during playback.
Caution: When carrying the camcorder with the shoulder strap, rotate the viewfinder down. This helps
prevent possible damage to the viewfinder from bumping against your body as you move.

Eyepiece Focus Control
The eyepiece focus control lets you set the focus of
the viewfinder for your personal vision. If you wear
eyeglasses, you can probably operate the camcorder
without them.
The eyepiece focus control does not affect the focus
of the picture actually recorded by the camcorder.
To adjust the focus, follow the steps below.
1. Pull the viewfinder out into operating position.
2. Turn the eyepiece focus control until you clearly
focus on one of the viewfinder displays (such
as date).
