dry and soft cloth to wipe off the dirt without harshly rubbing
the surface. Do not use any solvent such as thinner or benzene.
7. Do not display the same pattern for a long time.
Precautions should be taken as displaying the same pattern for
a long time may cause burn-in on the screen.
•Turn off the power when the unit is not used.
•Change the displayed pattern regularly.
•Turn off the marker when not in use.
8. Precautions against dew condensation
If the unit is used in an environment exposed to sudden
temperature changes, dew condensation may occur on the panel
surface or inside the unit. Precautions must be taken as
operating the unit while condensation is remaining may cause
deterioration of the display quality or malfunction of the unit.
If dew condensation should occur, do not turn on the power
before the dew condensation is eliminated.

deterioration due to the low response speed at the low temperature can be observed.
Full-color display of 16.7 million colors
16.7 million colors (8bits color) are achieved by a full-color display and a high definition image is supplied.
Abundant peaking features
This viewfinder supplies the abundant peaking features, “ZOOM UP PEAKING” which is synchronized with the camera zoom opera-
tion and “COLOR PEAKING” which can add the color on the peak signal, which support the good adjustment of focus.
Abundant markers with shadow
In addition to the area marker, center marker, shadow feature and cross hatch marker, there are 6 (maximum) user markers for each
scene, on which users can set them freely. And also, 5 this kinds of scenes are prepared.
Image magnification display feature
This viewfinder can display the magnified image and support the accurate focusing.
