Preparing the Camcorder
34
If you are not interested in using the viewfinder while using the OLED screen, you can set [£ OLED/VF
Setup] > [OLED/VF Simul.] to [Off] to conserve the camcorder’s power. Even when [OLED/VF Simul.] is set to
[Off], closing the OLED panel will automatically activate the viewfinder.
While recording with the OLED panel facing toward the subject, you can set [£ OLED/VF Setup] > [OLED
Mirror Image] to [On] to flip the image horizontally so subjects can see a mirror image of themselves.
Adjusting the Viewfinder/OLED Screen
You can adjust the brightness, contrast, color and sharpness of the
viewfinder and OLED screen independently of each other. Additionally,
you can turn on the increased luminence of the OLED panel or adjust the
backlight of the viewfinder. These adjustments will not affect your
recordings.
1 Open the setup menu for the viewfinder or OLED screen.
[£ OLED/VF Setup] > [OLED Setup] or [Viewfinder Setup]
2 Select [Brightness], [Contrast], [Color], [Sharpness], [Luminence] or
[Backlight] and then press SET.
3 Adjust the setting and then press SET.
Repeat steps 2 and 3 to adjust other settings as necessary.
NOTES
If you set an assignable button to [OLED Setup] or [Viewfinder Setup] (A 129), you can press the button to
open the respective submenu.
You can also press the DISP. button and hold it pressed for about 3 seconds to turn the OLED [Luminence]
setting on and off.
The OLED screen will be dimmed if the camcorder is left unused for approx. 3 minutes (except while recording
or during playback). Performing any operation on the camcorder will return the brightness to its previous level.
Adjusting the Color Balance of the OLED Screen
As times passes, the color balance of the OLED screen may change
gradually. You can adjust the color balance of the OLED screen to
compensate for this change.
1 Open the [Color Balance] submenu.
[£ OLED/VF Setup] > [OLED Setup] > [Color Balance]
2 Select [R-B Simult. Adjust.] and then press SET.
3 Change the setting to adjust the red and blue levels simultaneously and
then press SET.
4 If necessary, select [R Fine Tuning] or [B Fine Tuning] to further adjust
only the red or blue level.
5 Adjust the setting as necessary and then press SET.
