Using the Live View Finder (optional)
When the Live View Finder (DMW-LVF2: optional) is used, you can view the recording 
screen even when taking pictures at a low camera angle, for example.

Firmly insert the Live View Finder into the hot shoe, as far as 
it will go

Press the [LVF/LCD] button of the Live View Finder to switch 
the display
 •You can switch between the LCD (LCD monitor) display and LVF (Live View 
Finder) display.
 •The display selected by pressing the [LVF/LCD] button will be stored in memory 
even when the camera ON/OFF switch is set to [OFF]. 
 
To automatically display the playback screen on the LCD monitor 
When [Play on LCD] 
of the [Setup] menu is set to [ON], the LCD monitor will turn 
on when the camera is switched from recording mode to playback mode. This operation 
eliminates the time needed to switch between LCD monitor and Live View Finder when 
recording pictures using Live View Finder.
 
Attach and detach the Live View Finder carefully and correctly.
 
The Live View Finder cannot be used together with an external flash.
 
When the shoulder strap is attached, make sure that the strap does not get snagged 
on the Live View Finder. 
 
Be sure to hold both the camera and the Live View Finder when the Live View Finder 
is attached to the camera. If you hold only the Live View Finder, it could become 
detached from the camera.
 
Refer to the operating instructions for the Live View Finder for further details.
