8-2 Adjusting the Viewfinder

By fitting a BKW-401 Viewfinder Rotation Bracket (not 
supplied), you can rotate the viewfinder out of the way so 
that your right leg does not hit the viewfinder while you are 
carrying the camcorder.

Using the BKW-401 Viewfinder Rotation Bracket

To fit the BKW-401 to the camcorder, proceed as follows.

Turn the arm of the rotation mechanism assembly of 
the BKW-401 in the direction of the arrow in the 
following illustration. Next, using a hexagonal wrench 
3 mm across flats, remove the bolts (M4 

× 8), to 

separate the rotation mechanism assembly from the 
viewfinder front-back positioning mechanism 
assembly.

Remove the two M3 

× 10 hexagon socket bolts from 

the front-back positioning mechanism assembly, 
together with the washers. Take care not to lose these 
bolts and washers.

Using a hexagonal wrench 2.5 mm across flats, detach 
the viewfinder shoe from the camcorder body.

Using the two bolts (M3 

× 10) and washers removed in 

step 2, attach the rotation mechanism assembly of the 
BKW-401 to the camcorder.

Removing the eyepiece gives a clearer view of the screen 
from further away. It is also easy to remove dust from the 
viewfinder screen and mirror when the eyepiece is 
detached.

Turn the eyepiece locking ring fully counterclockwise, 
to align the red marks on the locking ring and the 
viewfinder barrel.

Detach the eyepiece.
