Positioning the viewfinder

The horizontal position of the viewfinder can be adjusted as follows to suit your
requirements:

1.

Loosen the locking ring (1). (As seen from the rear of the camera, turning the
locking ring counterclockwise moves it towards the handle.)

2.

Slide the viewfinder horizontally along the rail to the desired position.

3.

Tighten the locking ring (1) by turning clockwise.

The dioptre hood and eyepiece of the viewfinder can be rotated vertically.

The viewfinder can be positioned backwards and forwards along the camera axis.
Loosen the support bracket round bar retaining lever (2) and slide the round bar (3)
forwards or backwards. When the desired position is reached tighten the support
bracket round bar retaining lever (2) again.

To use the viewfinder at a distance press the button (4) below or above the eyepiece
tube and swing it free of the associated clip (5). The display can now be seen from
further away.

in the hand-held position, it is recommended that you fit the optionally available wide
