5
Attaching the Viewfinder
to a Camera
Do not leave the eyepiece lens facing toward the sun
when the viewfinder is attached.
Direct sunlight may enter and focus within the eyepiece
lens, resulting in fire.
1
Attach the viewfinder to the camera.
1
Loosen the fixing ring on the camera’s viewfinder
shoe.
2
Align the groove in the viewfinder’s L-arm with
the viewfinder shoe, and attach the viewfinder by
sliding it horizontally.
The slide stopper lowers automatically.
3
Tighten the fixing ring.
2
Connect the cable.
1
Use the VF connection cable (supplied) to connect
the viewfinder’s VF connector to the camera’s VF
connector.
Connect the straight connector to the viewfinder’s
VF connector and the angle connector to the
camera’s VF connector.
Verify the orientations of the connectors, and insert
them until they click into place.
2
Secure the cable with the clamp if necessary.
• Always turn off the camera before connecting the
VF connection cable to the VF connector on the
camera. If you make the connection while the
camera is on, the viewfinder may not function
properly.
• Be sure to check the shape of the VF connection
cable’s connector, and insert it in the proper
orientation.
• Fully insert the VF connection cable’s connector
into the VF connector and make sure it is secure. If
the connector is not firmly connected, the image
may be distorted and the tally indicator may not
light properly.
Detaching the Viewfinder
1
Remove the VF connection cable from the clamp, and
disconnect the connectors from the camera’s VF
connector and the viewfinder’s VF connector.
Pull the connector straight out while pressing the lock
release buttons on both sides of the connector.
Forcibly pulling the connector without pressing the
lock release buttons may damage the connector.
2
Loosen the fixing ring on the camera’s viewfinder
shoe.
3
Slide the viewfinder in the opposite direction from
when you attached it, and raise the slide stopper to
detach the viewfinder.
