The monochrome (black and white) monitor on top of the camera head is your window on the world. And while it provides no information about the colors being reproduced, it is an accurate display for the purpose of framing, focus and composition. The angle of the VF is adjustable to provide optimum viewing regardless of the height of the camera or the height of the operator. The VF has contrast and brightness controls and should be adjusted for your particular situation. These controls do not in any way affect the video output of the camera.
