This manual is a provisional version only.
13. While holding the viewfinder at a slight angle, locate the
front section into place on the front edge of the viewfinder
screen recess in the camera body ensuring the central locat-
ing lug and databus interface are positioned correctly. Swing
the viewfinder downwards and press firmly until it clicks into
place. Ensure that both sides of the viewfinder are seated
correctly.
14. Point the camera at a smooth toned area. Turn the eyesight
adjustment dial until you achieve optimum sharpness of the
markings on the viewfinder screen.
15. Open the card-holder cover on the sensor unit by insert-
ing your fingernail into the slot at the front of the door and
swinging it open.
16. Hold the compact-flash card so that the connector holes face
into the slot in the sensor unit, with the brand label facing in
the same direction as the sensor unit preview screen.
17. Gently press the card into the slot. If you encounter resistance,
it might be because you are holding the card backwards or
upside down. Experiment until you find the orientation that
allows the card to slide in easily.
18. When the card is able to drop very easily nearly all the way
into the sensor unit, then you are doing it right. Once you
have achieved this, press the card firmly into place until it
sinks another couple of millimeters into the sensor unit and is
held fast. Swing the side panel door shut again.

You can now explore the menus, buttons, control
wheels, etc observing the changes on the LCD on the
grip as well as the LCD in the viewfinder.

That’s it!
