Chapter 5 Adjustments and Settings

The following adjustments are provided to improve 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.

Depending on the eyesight of the operator — whether
longsighted or shortsighted — the optimal position of
the viewfinder image varies.  Adjust the eyepiece
focus to get the clearest viewfinder image for your
eyesight.  First focus the image with the lens, then
adjust the eyepiece focusing knob.  The adjustment
range is from –3 to 0 diopters

1)

 (default when shipped

is 0 diopters).
Using an optional part allows you to modify the
adjustment range to –2 to +1 diopters or –0.5 to +3
diopters.

Carry out these adjustments with the color bars
displayed.

Set the OUTPUT/DL/DCC+ switch to the BARS
position.
The color bars appear in the viewfinder.

Watching the color bars, turn the CONTRAST and
BRIGHT controls to adjust the contrast and
brightness.

Return the OUTPUT/DL/DCC+ switch to its
original position.

Turning the PEAKING control changes the degree of
outline emphasis in the viewfinder image, to make
focusing easier.

1) Diopter: A unit to indicate the degree of convergence or

divergence of a bundle of rays.
