The KiWi 900/950 is designed to be used at the standard wide-angle setting or
with the additional 24mm wide-angle Nikon lens. The two threaded mounting
holes directly above the slot on the camera bracket will position the camera at
its proper nodal point setting for either configuration.

The diagram below shows the proper mounting holes for the camera .  When
using the camera with the standard lens,  Figure A shows the proper mounting
with the adjustment shoe behind the camera.

When using the camera with the optional 24mm wide-angle Nikon lens mounted,
Figure B shows the proper mounting with the adjustment shoe in front of the
camera.

Note: the slot below the camera mounting holes will accept the camera knob and
can be used to locate the camera in accordance with the nodal points of other
3rd party lenses (see Chapter 3 for instructions).
