NOTES
• Using the handle unit (A 44), you can attach the monitor unit in a number of different positions for maximum
flexibility by attaching it to the front, top or rear accessory shoe.
• When you use a commercially available lens adapter and the image on the screen is inverted, you can use the
[System Setup] > [Custom Function] > [Scan Reverse Rec] setting (A 144) to return the image to the
correct orientation.
• You can turn off the LCD screen by setting [¢ Picture/Terminals Setup] > [Select Monitoring Devices] to an
option that does not include [LCD].
• About the LCD and viewfinder screens: The screens are produced using extremely high-precision manufacturing
techniques, with more than 99.99% of the pixels operating to specification. Very rarely, pixels may misfire or
may light up permanently as white dots. This has no effect on the recorded image and does not constitute a
malfunction.

level of the viewfinder and LCD screen independently of each other. These
adjustments will not affect your recordings.
