Attaching the Camera

When using an LDK10P/00 or 01 before attaching the camera remove from the handgrip items 19, 6, 7, 14 and 5. See Service Manual LDK10P.

Attach the camera to the large lens adapter only after the lens is mounted. Proceed as follows:

a.Remove the 1.5 inch viewfinder support bracket at the front of the camera handle.

b.Mount the bayonet ring locking lever to the front of the camera and ensure that the bayonet ring is open.

CAUTION

Do not tighten the screw to much as this could deform the bayonet-ring.

Check that lever can close ring smoothly.

c.Place the camera onto the footbed but do not slide it home yet.

d.Connect the lens cable from the large lens adapter to the lens connector at the side of the camera.

e.Connect the viewfinder cable from the large lens adapter to the viewfinder connector at the side of the camera.

f.Push the camera all the way home along the wedge-shaped groove so that the stud on the footbed engages the bottom rear of the camera and the bayonet ring engages the lens.

g.Turn the bayonet ring locking lever on the front of the camera downwards so that the camera is connected to the lens.

h.Plug the flying triax lead from the left side panel of the large lens adapter into the rear of the camera.

i.Connect the triax cable from the base station to the connector on the left side of the large lens adapter.

When the lens and camera are mounted on the large lens adapter it may be necessary to balance the large lens adapter on the tripod as follows:

a.Loosen the balance knob on the side of the footbed by turning it counterclockwise.

b.Move the footbed back and forth along the tripod until the best balance is achieved.
