You should already have attached a power source to the camera and loaded a
cassette. When you have completed the following steps, you will be ready to start
recording.
Fasten the grip belt

hold the camera with your right hand
while you adjust the belt with your

Adjust the viewfinder

your eyesight. First put the camera in
record pause mode (open the
STANDBY cover and turn the
program selector to camera mode).
• Adjust the viewfinder by sliding the
viewfinder focusing switch to the left
or right to bring the viewfinder
display clearly into focus.
• The viewfinder also rotates through
70° to give a choice of shooting
positions.

• Hook the lens cap on to the grip belt
while you are recording, and place it
over the lens when you have
finished.
