Sony RMT-840 - Manual (Page 16)

Getting started 16
When the picture in the viewfinder is
hard to see
If you cannot see the picture in the viewfinder
clearly under bright circumstances, use the
supplied large eyecup.
To attach the large eyecup, stretch it a little and
align it with the groove of the viewfinder, then
slide it up to the end. You can attach the large
eyecup facing either the right or left side.
z Tip
• To select the brightness of the viewfinder backlight
when you are using the battery pack, select
(LCD/VF SET) menu, then [VF B.LIGHT] (p. 58).
Step 5: Setting the
date and time
Set the date and time when using this
camcorder for the first time. If you do not set
the date and time, the [CLOCK SET] screen
appears every time you turn on your
camcorder.
b Note
• If you do not use your camcorder for about 3
months, the built-in rechargeable button-type
battery gets discharged and the date and time
settings may be cleared from the memory. In that
case, charge the rechargeable button-type battery
(p. 97) and then set the date and time again.
