Dioptre Adjustment/Viewfinder Accessories
The F55/F55D enables near- or far-sighted photographers to adjust the
eyepiece dioptre to suit their vision. Viewfinder accessories such as an
eyepiece cap or eyepiece correction lens can also be attached.
Dioptre adjustment
• Remove the rubber eyecup and slide the dioptre adjustment lever while looking
through the viewfinder until the focus brackets or other displays in the viewfinder
appear sharp. Attach the rubber eyecup again after adjustment.
• The adjustable range of the finder dioptre is –1.5m
-1
to +0.8m
-1
. Nine optional eyepiece
correction lenses provide a viewfinder dioptre range of –5m
-1
to +3m
-1
(page 98).
NOTE: Using the dioptre adjustment lever
Since the dioptre adjustment lever is located next to the viewfinder, be careful not to
poke yourself in the eye with your finger or fingernail while sliding the lever.
Attaching viewfinder accessories
• To attach an eyepiece cap or eyepiece correction lens, remove the rubber eyecup and
slide down the eyepiece cap or eyepiece correction lens.
• To reattach the rubber eyecup after removing the eyepiece cap or eyepiece correction
lens, make sure the “
