Detaching the Eyepiece

Detaching the eyepiece gives you a clear view of the screen even with your eye away from the viewfinder. Detach the eyepiece to clean the screen and mirror, and to attach the optional fog-proof filter.

For details on cleaning the viewfinder or attaching the fogproof filter, see “Cleaning the Screen or Interior” on page 15(E).

1 Turn the eyepiece locking ring fully counterclockwise to line up the red alignment mark on the locking ring with the red alignment mark on the viewfinder barrel.

Note

Take care not to scratch the eyepiece face on the LCD side.

Do not scratch this surface.

Refitting the eyepiece

1 Align the alignment mark on the eyepiece locking ring with that on the viewfinder barrel.

2 Align the alignment mark on the end of the eyepiece (see step 2 on left) with that of the eyepiece locking ring, then insert the eyepiece into the viewfinder barrel.

3 Turn the eyepiece locking ring clockwise until its “LOCK” indication arrow points to the alignment mark on the viewfinder barrel.

Note

Do not use any other lenses except the supplied (built in) lens assembly and optional lens assembly (farsighted) (part number: 1-758-940-11). Other lenses may focus sunlight on the LCD, resulting in damage to the LCD.
