Chapter 3 Preparation — Adjusting and setting the viewnder

Adjusting and setting the viewnder

The viewnder of this camera is a 0.5 type organic EL. Use either the viewnder or the LCD monitor depending on your purpose and the shooting

conditions.

Using the viewnder

When it is difcult to use the LCD monitor because the surroundings are bright, you can check the image using the viewnder.

Positioning your eye near the viewnder will trigger the eye sensor to automatically display the image.

f The eye sensor sensitivity can be set to [HIGH] or [LOW] in the main menu → [DISPLAY SETUP] → [EYE SENSOR].

f The eye sensor may not work properly depending on the shape of the eyeglasses you may be wearing, how you hold the camera, or by strong light

present in the vicinity of the eye piece. If this happens, switch the image display by assigning [EVF ON/OFF] to the USER button.

Set the viewfinder screen to the easiest-to-view position.

The viewnder can be lifted vertically to approximately 90 degrees.

Adjust the characters inside the viewfinder screen so that they are clearly visible using the diopter adjustment lever.

NOTE

t The image brightness and color hue seen on the viewnder and LCD monitor may be different from that seen on a TV monitor. The nal check of the

color hue should be done on a TV monitor.

Adjusting the viewnder

r Adjusting the brightness, contrast, and color level

Adjust [EVF BRIGHTNESS] (brightness), [EVF CONTRAST] (contrast), and [EVF COLOR LEVEL] (color level) in the main menu → [DISPLAY SETUP]

→ [EVF SETTING].

These adjustments will not affect recorded images.

r Switching between color and monochrome

The viewnder screen can be switched between color display and monochrome display. Set from the main menu → [DISPLAY SETUP] → [EVF

SETTING] → [EVF COLOR].

Highlighting the outlines of images

It is easier to focus if the outlines of images in the viewnder are highlighted.

Even when the outlines are highlighted on the LCD monitor, images output from the camera recorder and recorded images are not affected.

To highlight outlines, set [ON] in the main menu → [DISPLAY SETUP] → [EVF DETAIL], and adjust [EVF PEAK LEVEL] and [EVF PEAK FREQ] in the

main menu → [DISPLAY SETUP].
