Attaching to the Camera

The viewfinder is attached to the panning base mounting plate (see the figure below) on the top of the camera.

Note

•Before attaching the viewfinder to the camera, check to be sure that the VF connector on the camera's panning base mounting plate faces in the direction 90º clockwise to the camera's control panel.

•When attaching the viewfinder to or removing it from a camera, always be sure to lock the viewfinder in standard position (the lowest position).

For more information on adjusting the viewfinder position, see the section “Adjusting the Position – Tilting” on page 8(E).
