Enjoy. Be sure to turn the power off when you insert, or remove the plug for the B&W viewfinder. Apparently doing that while the power is on can weaken the fuse or blow it altogether. Mine died in the middle of a job a month or so after installing the FU-1000. Be careful.
To facilitate accurate focusing, crank the peaking adjustment so there is a bit of a white edge. You'll see things in focus a bit more clearly. A handy trick.

mark,
thanks for the tip on the "peaking".I'm still not sure about the calibrating. I followed the instructions in Ken Tanaka's article, but I'm not sure if it's correctly done. Any tips? Bruce yarock |

Bruce, Thanks. Much appreciated. There are a few things that are different for the XL2, but good info.

Fu-1000 viewfinder
Are there any difference between a PAL and NTSC camcorder using this viewfinder or will it fit on both?

Per,
try to search the XL1 forum. I remember a thread were someone from the UK had got the FU-1000 from the US. If I remember correctly there was a way to connect the NTSC version to a PAL camera. It required some modification that might void the warranty, though.

FU-1000 & XL2 16:9
I am thinking of getting the FU-1000 for my XL2. Can anyone tell me if it displays the 16:9 aspect ration when the canon is set to 16:9 or is it squeezed ?

Hi Declan, it displays letterboxed 16:9.

I believe the FU-1000 is a direct plugin on the XL2 now, is it not? According to the article, the FU-1000 did not display battery information. Will it display battery information of the XL2?
Aside from the larger 2" color viewfinder of the XL2, what are the differences with the XL1s viewfinder? |
