Adjusting the backlight
Turning the backlight on/off
The backlight may not be necessary for viewing
images on the LCD monitor under bright ambient
light, such as in an outdoor location. Set the LCD
B.LIGHT switch to OFF to turn off the backlight.
Adjusting the brightness of the backlight
When you set the LCD B.LIGHT switch to ON,
you can adjust the brightness of the backlight,
using the LCD B.LIGHT + and – buttons.
Press the – button to darken the backlight. Press
the + button to make it brighter.
During adjustment, the backlight level bar
appears to indicate the adjustment value.
Adjusting the color, contrast, and
brightness
These adjustments can be made using the LCD/
VF SET menu.
Press the MENU button to set the camcorder to
Menu mode and select
(LCD/VF SET
menu) then “LCD” from the menu.
Set color, contrast and brightness of the LCD
monitor with the corresponding LCD menu
items: Color, Contrast, and Brightness
For details on menu operations, see “Basic Menu
Operations” on page 94.
If the picture on the LCD monitor is hard to view
under bright ambient light, you can use the
viewfinder to check the picture.
You can adjust the display conditions of the
viewfinder according to your current lighting
conditions.
These adjustments of the viewfinder have no
effect on pictures being recorded.
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 of the LCD
monitor, using “EVF” (page 103) of the LCD/VF
SET menu. Change the “Power” setting from
“Auto” to “On.”
Adjusting the focus in the viewfinder
The eyepiece focusing (diopter compensation)
knob enables adjustment to match the eyesight of
operator so that the operator can view the image
clearly in the eyepiece.
