Adjusting the diopter
Before shooting, the diopter setting of the viewfinder should be adjusted to
the Operator’s eye. To set the diopter, use the diopter set ring (E) located on
the short eyepiece.
Look through the viewfinder while rotating the diopter set ring until the edge
of the viewing screen cross-hair is in sharp focus. It is recommended to per-
forme this adjustment with the port cover off and no lens on the camera.
Note that the diopter set ring is engraved with numbers and dots. Use them
to quickly recall your particular setting when more than one person is looking
through the viewfinder.
The eyepiece shutter
To prevent light leaks through the viewfinder, the eyepiece shutter must be
closed any time the camera is running film and the Operator’s eye is away
from the eyepiece.
To close or open the eyepiece shutter, use the small silver lever located on
the eyecup ring (F).
Viewing screen
The viewing screen (ground-glass) is interchangeable. Viewing screens for
2-Perf and 3-Perf formats can be selected in «Viewing Screens List», Chap-
ter 5.
