Notes
• When the viewfinder is attached, do not
leave the camera (or the camcorder) with
the eyepiece facing the sun. Direct

camcorder before plugging the
viewfinder connector into the VF
connector on the camera/camcorder. If
the connector is plugged in while the
power is on, the viewfinder may not
operate correctly.
• Make sure that the viewfinder connector
is pushed fully into the VF connector on
the camera/camcorder. If the connector is
not firmly connected, the image may
break up, or the tally lamp may not
operate properly.
