Attaching the Viewfinder Cap
Pointing the viewfinder lens at the sun or other strong light sources may
cause damage to internal components. When you are not using the
viewfinder, make sure to attach the viewfinder cap to the viewfinder. This
will also protect the viewfinder from scratches and dirt. Attach the
viewfinder cap by inserting it into the rubber portion of the viewfinder unit.

monitoring and operation from the side of the camcorder. Additionally, the

NOTES
• About the LCD and viewfinder screens: The screens are produced using
extremely high-precision manufacturing techniques, with more than 99.99% of the pixels operating to
specification. Less than 0.01% of the pixels may occasionally misfire or appear as black, red, blue or green
dots. This has no effect on the recorded image and does not constitute a malfunction.
• You can set the LCD screen to black & white (A 39).
• When you use a commercially available lens adapter and the image on the screen is inverted, you can use the
[w Other Functions] > [Custom Function] > [Scan Reverse Rec] setting to return the image to the correct
orientation.
