Interchangeable viewfinders

In addition to the DE-2 Eye-Level Finder, the F3 accepts various other interchangeable viewfinders. To remove the finder, slide the finder release levers ® with your thumb and finger towards the back of the camera (Fig. I), and lift the finder out (Fig. 2) . The DW-3 Waist -Level Finder is ideal when you want to use the camera at a low angle or upside down over your head for shooting over crowds. The DA-2 Action Finder works well for those situations when you can't bring your eye close to the finder, such as when you are wearing a helmet or goggles

Fig . 1 or when the camera is enclosed in a waterproof under- water housing. The DW-4 6X Magnification Finder is for critical high-magnification close-up work or photomicro-

36graphy. Regardless of which finder is attached, you still have full automatic exposure control because the meter is built not into the finder but the body.

When using the DA-2 or DW-3, be careful that stray light does not enter from the top and cause an inflated meter reading.
