The remainder of the screen looks like a ground- glass screen and is ideal for focusing telephoto lenses and for close-range photography.

Caution: Before focusing, the eyepiece must be set to the user's diopter value (see p. 33).

Additional focusing screens are available as accessories. They offer optimum focusing for different conditions and can be changed easily (see p. 53).

Eyepiece shutter

The silicon photodiode of the exposure meter is located in the base of the LEICA R7, where it is protected from stray light. Normally, therefore, there is little likelihood of light entering the viewfinder eyepiece and affecting exposure meter readings, except when your are not using the viewfinder, e.g. for taking photographs from a tripod, when direct sunlight or bright artificial light may enter through the eyepiece. To prevent this, turn the knob of the eyepiece shutter [30] at the left to the eyepiece in the direction of the arrow. When the shutter is in place, a white triangle appears in the eyepiece.
