ASSEMBLY INSTRUCTIONS

5.8Inserting and replacing the format mask

Use the format mask to adapt the size of the image in the focusing screen to the size of the image actually captured. The format mask is placed on the focusing screen, and is already inserted when the camera is delivered.

Background information: The focusing screen of the Sinar Hy6 has a size of 6 x 6 cm, while the dimensions of the CCD-sensor are smaller. In this way, the size of the image in the focusing screen does not correspond to the size of the image finally captured. By using the format mask, the size of the image in the focusing screen is adapted, and the loss of image areas can be prevented.

	The format mask is inserted between the
	focusing screen and the metal frame.
	Remove the focusing screen from the metal
	frame. Place the format mask exactly onto
	the focusing screen, then re-insert the
	focusing screen into the frame.
	Make sure that both the format mask and
	the focusing screen are placed exactly one
	over another, and that the focusing screen
	is inserted into the frame as far as possible.

	into its original position. You will hear a
	click when the focusing screen is locked.

The image crop that visible in the focusing screen now corresponds to the image that is finally captured. Depending on the image orientation, landscape or portrait format is shown.
