To detach the viewfinder
Loosen the viewfinder left-right positioning ring, pull the 
viewfinder stopper, then pull out the viewfinder by sliding 
it in the direction opposite to that when attached.

To keep the viewfinder from bumping your leg when 
carrying the camera, install the BKW-401 Viewfinder 
Rotation Bracket (optional) and rotate the viewfinder 
upwards.

Lock the viewfinder in a slightly forward position before 
rotating it upwards. If the viewfinder is in its rearmost 
position, the arm of the viewfinder rotation bracket will 
strike the grip.

You can shift the shoulder pad from its center position 
(factory setting) backward by up to 10 mm (3/8 inch) or 
forward by up to 25 mm (1 inch). This adjustment helps 
you get the best balance for shooting with the camcorder 
on your shoulder.
