Preparing the Camera
12
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.
Prepare the lens cap
• Attach the cord to the eyelet on the lens cap, as
shown.
• Pass the end of the grip belt through the loop on
the other end of the cord.
• Hook the lens cap onto the grip belt while you are
recording, and place it over the lens when you
have finished.
Fasten the grip belt
• Release the Velcro fastening and hold the
camera with your right hand while you adjust the
belt with your left.
Adjust the viewfinder
• You need to adjust the viewfinder to suit your
eyesight. First, put the camera in record pause
mode. (Turn the program selector to a recording
program and open the STANDBY cover.)
UC800/UC5000
• Adjust the viewfinder to suit your eyesight by
turning the viewfinder focusing ring until the
viewfinder displays are clearly focused.
• The viewfinder rotates through 90° to give a
choice of shooting positions.
UC850/UC5500
• Adjust the viewfinder to suit your eyesight by
turning the viewfinder focusing wheel until the
viewfinder displays are clearly focused.
• The viewfinder rotates through 90° to give a
choice of shooting positions.
Attach the shoulder strap
• For extra security and portability, attach the
shoulder strap before using the camera.
• Pass the ends through the attachment bars and
adjust the length as shown.
Note:
• Be careful not to leave the viewfinder exposed to
bright sunlight, or it will melt. (The light is
concentrated by the viewfinder lens.) You may be
able to move the viewfinder out of direct sunlight
by pushing it upright, or by moving it back down
to horizontal.
