finders, to match shooting conditions to photographic conditions. To

attach the finder, align the front end of the finder with the front end

of the finder frame on top of the camera main body, as shown.Then,

gently lower the finder and, when well seated, slide forward until it

locks.

B. To detach, simply depress the finder release button, while at the

same time, sliding the finder backwards where it can then be taken

off by lifting.

* When using the AE Prism Finder S, always check battery condition

before attaching the finder, as the LED-illuminated shutter speed may

be displayed, even when the battery check LED does not light up.

Since correct AE operations will not be possible, in this case,

exchange for fresh batteries.

A. The focusing hood of the waist-level finder is opened by pushing

up on the focusing hood catch at the rear end of the folded waist-

level finder.

level finder because of its popularity.
