Diopter Adjustment/LCD Illuminator

•Diopter adjustment

The finder diopter enables near- or far-sighted photographers to adjust the eyepiece diopter to suit their vision.

Pull up the diopter adjustment knob and rotate while looking through the viewfinder until the focus brackets in the viewfinder appear sharp.

• The adjustable range of the finder diopter is –2m–1to +1m–1. Five optional eyepiece correction lenses DK-17C provide a viewfinder diopter range of –3m–1to +2m–1(x 167).
