CHANGING THE VIEWFINDER
In addition to the F2AS Photomic finder included with the
camera, four other interchangeable viewfinders are available.
To remove the F2AS Photom ic finder to mount one of the
other units, press the finder release lever inward and rotate
toward the front (this action releases the mounting clamps);
then, depress the finder release button at the rear of the cam-
era body and lift the finder out of the camera.
To attach a viewfinder other than a Photomic-type model,
set it in position and press down firmly until it clicks and
locks into place on the camera.
To attach a Photomic-type model (including the F2AS
Photomic finder included with the camera), first set the aper-
ture ring of the lens (if mounted) to the maximum aperture
setting; then, gently position the finder on the camera and
firmly press it down until it clicks and locks into place (see
Photo A). Once in place, turn the finder’s shutter-speed se-
lector left or right until it engages with the camera’s shutter-
speed dial and the two can be turned in tandem (see Photo
B). Note that if the finder is an Al-type model fitted with a
meter coupling lever, the lever should be released prior to
mounting the finder on the camera body (see “Coupling Le-
ver Lock/Release Operation” on page 39 for details).
