Tips
•If you install a large capacity battery pack such as the NP-QM91/QM91D in your
camcorder, extend the viewfinder and adjust the angle.
•You can change the brightness of the viewfinder backlight. Select [VF B.L.] in the
SETUP display when using the battery pack (page 113).
•The [VF B.L.] setting does not affect the brightness of the image when you are
recording.
•Recording pictures with the viewfinder is recommended in the following cases:
– When the pictures on the LCD screen are hard to see.
– When you want to save on battery consumption.
