INTERCHANGEABLE FOCUSING SCREENS

The OM System interchangeable focusing screens

provide you with the ultimate in focusing versa-

tility. Optional screens are available to suit virtual-

ly every picture-taking situation. The focusing

screens come with a special tool. To remove the

focusing screen:

a) Detach the

camera lens

from the camera body.

b) Use the special tool provided to push up on

the release catch underneath the top ledge of
the mirror box (see the photo above). This

allows the screen and screen frame to drop

down.

c) Remove the screen from inside the camera by

gripping the tip of the screen with the tool as

shown.

CAUTION: Although the above procedure can be

done with fingers, it is recommended that you

use the special tool supplied. Changing focusing

screens is a procedure to be exercised with great

care. Trying to change a screen with your fingers

can result in fingerprints and costly damage to
the surface of the screen, the prism, or the mirror.
Should this occur, cleaning or repair MUST be
handled by an authorized service center. Such

damage is not covered by the product warranty.

d) To install the screen, fit it into the frame and

push the frame upward gently until it clicks

into place. Gently shake the camera body to

make sure the screen is held securely in place.
