- Carefully replace the lens port ring and its shims, and install the
three allen screws in the appropriate hales
as
detailed in the dia-
gram. Be sure not ta damage the shims; take extra care ta align
their cutouts around the hales to be used. Fasten the three
screws, then loosen each 1/2 a tum in preparation for fine center-
ing.
Step 5 - Fine-Centering of the Lens
Port.
There are two methods by which
to
set the exact centering
of
the
lens to the viewing screen. Both methods are equally acceptable.
Method 1 - via the
Port Alignment Tooi
The port alignment tool consists
of
the alignment
jig
and the
centering rod.
- Check that the three allen screws
of
the lens port ring are loose
enough that the ring can move independently
of
the lens holder.
- Clear the mirror shut!er
as
described in Step 1 so that it is rotat-
ed safely inside the body and the aperture opening could be seen
from the lens port opening. Make sure that the battery
is
removed from the body before proceeding further.
- Remove the centering rod from the alignment
jig
and position
the jig over the lens port ring with the jig's engravings facing out.
Make sure the alignment jig is flush against the surface
of
the
lens port ring.
- While holding the jig in place and looking at the aperture plate,
carefully slide the appropriate side (16 / Superl6)
of
the center-
ing rod through the
jig
and into the port until it peeks through the
outside
of
the aperture plate.
If
the centering rod is not centered
to
the aperture plate and cannot slide through its opening, gentlY
move the lens port ring until it can do sa.
