Antifog Finder Eyepiece DK-14/DK-15

Thank you for purchasing the Nikon Antifog Finder Eyepiece. This eyepiece features a transparent plastic plate with a special surface coating which reduces fogging on the eyepiece.

Fogging can be reduced under the following conditions:

In low temperatures, when the finder becomes foggy due to condensation from the photographer's breath or other causes.

In high temperatures and humidity, when the finder becomes foggy due to steam from the photographer's perspiration or other causes.

To maintain the effectiveness of this product, be sure to follow the notes below. Use of the eyepiece in any way not described in these notes may cause damage.

Notes

Do not touch the transparent plastic plate of the eyepiece with your fingers.

Be careful not to let snow or raindrops fall directly onto the plastic plate.

Use a blower brush to clean any dust, raindrops or snow from the plastic plate. If moisture remains on the plastic plate, dry it by touching the moisture with a piece of tissue. When doing so, make sure not to wipe the plastic plate.

If the plastic plate becomes stained with fingerprints or fogged from very high humidity, wipe it gently with a soft cloth such as chamois. Make sure you wipe it gently as strongly wiping the plastic plate may cause scratches on the surface.

The anti-fogging effect does not deteriorate but the finder image somewhat deteriorates if the plastic plate becomes scratched.

The eyepiece may become deformed if it is left in extremely high temperatures such as near a heater or inside a car in direct sunlight.

In extreme temperatures or very high humidity, fogging may not be prevented completely.

If a stain on the plastic plate cannot be removed by wiping, clean it noting the following points:

*Wipe the eyepiece gently using a clean soft cloth and a lens cleaner.

*Do not dry the eyepiece using heat, such as with a hairdryer.

*Note that wiping the plastic plate occasionally may cause the anti-fogging effect to deteriorate.

Stains on the plastic plate do not affect the anti-fogging capability of the eyepiece.
