Preparing The Camera - Canon Vistura Instruction Manual

Preparing the Camera

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
• Release the Velcro fastening and hold the camera
with your right hand while you adjust the belt
with your left.
Prepare the lens cap
• Attach/remove the lens cap as shown.
• Hook the lens cap on to the grip belt while you
are recording, and place it over the lens when you
have finished.
Adjust the viewfinder
• You can adjust the viewfinder to suit your
eyesight. First put the camera in record pause
mode (press down the lock button and turn the
POWER switch to CAMERA).
• Adjust the viewfinder by sliding the viewfinder
focusing switch to the left or right to bring the
viewfinder displays clearly into focus.
• The viewfinder also 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.
