Installation

Example: Attaching a 7-type or 9-type viewfinder

For details on the attaching procedure, refer to the

instruction manual furnished with the viewfinder.

Before attaching the viewfinder to the adaptor, check to be

sure that the VF connector on the panning base mounting

plate faces in the direction 90 degrees clockwise from the

rear panel of the adaptor as shown in the figure for step 1

below.

Place the viewfinder so that the mounting wedge on

the rear of the panning base of the viewfinder enters

the V-shaped groove on the panning base mounting

plate of the adaptor. Make sure that the projections on

the bottom of the viewfinder are in the appropriate

positions.

Push the viewfinder by the handle so that the panning

base is held securely by the panning base mounting

plate.

The connection with the viewfinder will be made by

the VF connector of the adaptor.

Pull the handle to check that the viewfinder is fixed to

the adaptor.

Turn the viewfinder counterclockwise. Then turn the

panning lock lever counterclockwise to lock the

viewfinder in place.
