Preparing the Camcorder

This section outlines the basic preparations for the camcorder such as 
attaching the lens hood, attaching/removing the eye cup, and adjusting 
the viewfinder and LCD screen.

Attaching the Lens Hood

Attach the lens hood to protect the lens and reduce the amount of stray 
light that may hit the lens.

for the external Instant AF sensor faces down

Attaching the Eye Cup

Attach the eye cup so that it covers the rubber portion of the viewfinder 
unit.

attached.

• For left eye use, attach the eye cup so that the protruding portion faces 

the opposite side.
