Viewfinder

The viewfinder can be swivelled three-dimensionally. It can be swang over approx. 190° from the left to the right side of the camera, with an attached video-assist- system approx. 120° . The viewfinder can be rotated 360° and can be swivelled a further 25° outwards for left eye viewing. An automatic image compensator provides an image which is upright and correct left-to- right. Only when it is swivelled outside of the main axes is there an image distortion which however can be fully compensated by the new manual image compensator.
