Viewfinder
Viewfinder principle
Large, bright line frame viewfinder with automatic parallax compen-
sation
Eyepiece
Calibrated to -0.5 dpt.; corrective lenses from -3 to +3 diopter
available
Image field limiter
By activating two bright lines each: For 35 and 135mm, or for 28
and 90mm, or for 50 and 75mm; automatic switching when lens is
attached; frame color: white
Parallax compensation
The horizontal and vertical difference between the viewfinder and
lens is automatically balanced by moving the bright-line frame in
line with the relevant distance setting
Matching viewfinder and actual image
At a range setting of 2m, the bright-line frame size corresponds
exactly to the sensor size of approx. 23.9 x 35.8mm; at infinity
setting, depending on the focal length, approx. 7.3% (28mm) to
18% (135mm) more is recorded by the sensor than indicated by
the corresponding bright line frame and slightly less for shorter
distance settings than 2m
Magnification
