Adjusting the Viewfinder
Depending on the eyesight of the operator — whether
longsighted or shortsighted — the optimal position of the
viewfinder image varies. Adjusting brightness, contrast,
and so on, improves the visibility of the viewfinder screen.
Although these adjustments may make the viewfinder
image clearer, they have no effect on the output video
signal from the camcorder.
