Using the viewfinder

When the LCD monitor is difficult to use because the surroundings are bright, you can check the image using the viewfinder.

Positioning your eye near the viewfinder will trigger the eye sensor to automatically display the image.

bullet02The sensitivity of the eye sensor is set in the [VIDEO OUT/LCD/VF] menu character_arrow [VF] character_arrow [EYE SENSOR] character_arrow [HIGH] or [LOW].

bullet02The 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 eyepiece. If this happens, switch the image display by assigning [VF ON/OFF] to the USER button.
