DIOPTER CORRECTION
The Eyepiece may be focused by turning the knurled
barrel. With the help of a scale labelled from 1 to 12,
the assistant can easily adjust the lens to the eyesight
of different operators. Corrections may be made in a
range from approx. - 5.5 to + 5.5 dioptres.
EYEPIECE HEATER
Unlike the ARRICAM System, here the heater is inte-
grated in the Eyepiece. A cable connector for the
integrated heater is located on the Eyepiece. In order to
activate the heater, connect the short coiled cable into
the Eyepiece connector, the other end into one of
the power outlets
[7a]
or
[7b]
on the camera – see
page 18 fig. 1/2. No switch is provided. When swit-
ching the Main switch on, the heater automatically acti-
vates, preventing so the entry pupil from fogging in low
temperatures, e.g. when filming outdoors in winter.
Caution!
If the camera is powered by battery, it is recom-
mended to switch off the eyecup heating during
extended breaks in filming.
The Mk2 EYEPIECE
The specially designed Mk2 Eyepiece can only be
mounted on the Arm of the Mk2 Optical Viewfinder.
Even though the bayonet would enable mounting the
ARRICAM ST Eyepiece, the best result is obtained with
this Mk2 Eyepiece.
Magnetic holders for the Mk2 Eyecup are located at the
rear side of the Eyepiece.
