Attaching a Viewfinder
Chapter 2 Installation and Preparations
2-4 Attaching a
Viewfinder
When the viewfinder is attached, do not leave the camera
with the eyepiece facing the sun. Direct sunlight can enter
through the eyepiece, be focused in the viewfinder and
cause fire.
For details on the viewfinder, refer to the instruction
manual of the viewfinder.
1 Pass the viewfinder mounting plate over the two rods.
2 Slide the slide panel left/right into position, and then
turn the lever on the rear of the slide panel to lock it
into position.
3 Slide the viewfinder mounting plate forward/backward
into position, and then turn the lever to lock it into
position.
4 Fit the viewfinder to the viewfinder shoe and slide the
viewfinder horizontally.
The viewfinder stopper automatically pops down.
5 Set the viewfinder to the most convenient position,
tighten the viewfinder positioning ring (1 in the
figure below), and connect the viewfinder cable to the
VF connector of the camera (2 in the figure below).
To detach the viewfinder
Loosen the viewfinder positioning ring, pull up the
viewfinder stopper, then pull out the viewfinder by sliding
it in the direction opposite than when attaching.
