BASIC OPERATION

Using EVF (Electronic View Finder)

EVF functions as the LCD, which can be
used to observe the scene and objects and
for playback, preview and menu operations.

EVF has the following advantages:
It will not be affected by ambient light and

may avoid poor composition due to light
reflection on the LCD.

Follow the steps below:

1. Turn the camera on and press the
button to switch to the EVF display. At
this time, the LCD will become black.

2. View the scenes and objects through the
EVF.

3. When the screen display is not clear,
rotate the dioptric adjustment knob to
adjust the screen sharpness.

4. Press the button again or restart
the camera to switch back to the LCD
display.

The bending of light that takes place in
a lens is referred to as refraction. The
strength of refraction is measured in
diopters.

Diopter adjustment is aimed to help
nearsighted (-300 or less) or farsighted
(+100) individuals see clearly through
the viewfinder (EVF).
