Viewfinder
≥Do not direct the Viewfinder or Lens to the sun. 
Internal components may be seriously damaged.
≥When the Movie Camera is used with a large 
capacity Battery (CGP-D28S/CGP-D320, 
CGR-D16S; optional) attached to it, it is not 
practical to look in the Viewfinder from behind 
the Battery. In this case, lift up the Viewfinder to 
an easy-to-see angle.
............................................................................
Extremely high precision technology is employed 
to produce the Viewfinder screen featuring a total 
of approximately 67,500 pixels. The result is more 
than 99.99% effective pixels with a mere 0.01% of 
the pixels inactive or always lit. However, this is 
not a malfunction and does not affect the recorded 
picture.
............................................................................
Lens
≥If you push the [W/T] Lever toward [W] during 
recording with the optional filter or conversion 
lens attached to the Movie Camera, 4 corners of 
the image may become dark (vignetting). For 
details, please refer to the operating instructions 
of your accessories.
ª Built-in Video Light
≥A light emitting diode (LED) is used for the 
Built-in Video Light.
