Panasonic NV-VS3A - Using the LCD Monitor

Using the LCD Monitor
Improved LCD backlight transmission makes the picture extra
bright. In addition, special coating of the LCD’s surface
diffuses the light from outside to minimize light reflection, so
the picture has vivid colours and is easy to see.
@ Opening the LCD Monitor
1 Slide the [A OPEN] Lever to the left and
simultaneously open the LCD Monitor in the
direction of the arrow approximately 90°.
@ Closing the LCD Monitor
2 Turn the LCD Monitor back toward the Movie
Camera body until it locks with a click.
eThe picture seen on the LCD Monitor looks slightly stretched
vertically, however, the actually recorded picture remains
unaffected by this.
Return the LCD Monitor to its vertical position before closing
it. Also, make sure that the Cassette Compartment is
securely closed before closing the LCD Monitor.
®Opening the LCD Monitor automatically turns the Finder off.
However, when you turn the LCD Monitor so that is faces
forward, the Finder turns on again.
@Extremely high precision technology is employed in
producing the LCD Monitor. The result is more than 99.99%
effective pixels with a mere 0.01% of the pixels inactive or
always lit. However, this is not a malfunction and does not
affect the recorded picture.
When the Movie Camera is very cold when turning it on, the
picture on the LCD Monitor is darker than normally.
However, as it reaches normal temperature, it regains its
normal brightness.
®To remove fingerprints, wipe the LCD Monitor with a soft
cloth.
Do not expose the LCD Monitor to direct sunlight. When
sunlight falls onto the LCD Monitor, it may be difficult to view
the picture.
Do not apply any pressure to the surface of the LCD Monitor
or subject it to strong shocks.
®Before transporting the Movie Camera, securely close the
LCD Monitor.
