melt. (The light is concentrated by the viewfinder lens.) Do not direct the
viewfinder to the sun.
Preparing the Camcorder

mode. Adjust the viewfinder focusing
lever to suit your eyesight.
• To view with the viewfinder, make sure
the LCD panel is either turned so that
the subject can monitor viewing, or
totally closed with the screen facing
inwards.

Preparing the lens cap

the camcorder with your right hand
while you adjust the belt with your left.
