9.  Move together the front and rear standard until the centering aid cone and the  

centering aid plate touch lightly.

10.  Align the front and rear standard until the rings of the cone appear centered in  

the hole of the adjustment plate. The alignment is made by horizontal and vertical shift  
of the standards.

11.  If the alignment is not carried out correctly, the sensor of the SLR camera is outside  

the center of the lens image circle and therefore the image quality is not optimal. 

12.  Move apart the front and rear standards until the centering aid cone and plate can be 

easily removed.
