The DXF-20W is a wide-aspect 2-inch
screen (aspect ratio 16:9) viewfinder. It can
be attached to a Sony PDW-F330/F350 or
DSR-450WS/450WSP-series camcorder.
The DXF-20W has the features described
below.
16:9 Wide Screen
The 2-inch 16:9 CRT provides a clear, fullsize 16:9 aspect ratio image. You can
switch to a 4:3 aspect ratio image with a
setting on the camcorder.
High-Performance CRT
• Quick-start type (The image appears as
soon as the camcorder is turned on.)
• Enhanced resolution
• Reduced flare
Others
• Due to its large diameter, you can see the
screen well at a longer distance.
• Fitting a fog-proof filter (not supplied)
over the viewfinder lens prevents breath
or vapor condensation on the lens.
Marker Indication
When the camcorder is set so that markers
such as a center marker or safety zone
marker are indicated on the viewfinder
screen, marker indication on/off switching
can be controlled on the viewfinder.
Removable Eyepiece
Detaching the eyepiece gives you a clear
view of the center of the screen even with
your eye away from the viewfinder. You
can clean dust from the screen or the mirror
by detaching the eyepiece.
Low Distortion Lens
The eyepiece includes a two-element lowdistortion lens, enabling you to view a lowdistortion image.

way as the REC/TALLY indicators (q;).
o Barrel
You can rotate this for convenience.
Note
The position of the image may change, as a
result of the earth's magnetic field.
p BRIGHT control
Adjusts the screen brightness. This has no
effect on the signal output from the
camcorder.
Note
When the viewfinder is attached, do not
leave the camera (or the camcorder) with
the eyepiece facing the sun. Direct sunlight
can enter through the eyepiece, be focused
in the viewfinder and cause fire.
Replacing the Viewfinder
Shoe
When the camcorder has been used with a
viewfinder other than the DXF-20W, it is
first necessary to replace the shoe.
(The following illustrations show the PDWF330, but the same applies to the DSR450WS/450WSP.)
Note
If you are using the PDW-F350 camcorder,
this operation is not required. The
camcorder was shipped from the factory
with the DXF-20W attached to it.
