Adjusting the reflex finder eyepiece
2
Inserting the batteries
(five 1.5 V cells)
For accurate focusing with the split
image rangefinder, the eyepiece must
be adjusted to your eyesight
(+
3 to
- 3 diopters).
Proceed as following:
Set the zoom knob to the longest
focal length (56 mm).
Open the lid by pressing the locking
button.
Unscrew the finder eyepiece
anticlockwise.
Now there are two possibilities:
1. Set the focusing ring to infinity
(00).
Look at a subject with a prominent
vertical line at least 500 ft. away
(telegraph pole, TV antenna, wall)
and while viewing, turn the finder
eyepiece clockwise until this vertical
line appears continuous (not broken)
across the dividing line of the split
image field.
2. Set the focusing ring to 7'. Place
the camera at a distance of exactly 7'
(measured from the film plane) from
a subject with vertical lines (door or
window frame) and set the finder eye-
piece as indicated above.
Eyecup
The eyecup can be set to any
position; therefore viewing with right
or left eye is possible.
We recommend the use of alkaline-
manganese batteries, such as
MALLORY Mn 1500, EVEREADY E 91,
RAY-O-VAC 815, RCA VS 1334, etc.
These batteries deliver more power
and last longer.
If you use ordinary batteries, select
leak-proof ones only, Any damage
caused by leakage of the electrolyte
inside the camera is not covered by
our guarantee.
A set of new alkaline batteries pro-
vides sufficient power for filming
over twenty 50 ft. cartridges under
normal conditions of use.
Battery power drops sharply at low
temperatures.
As a general rule, it is best to change
batteries once a year, even if the
above-mentioned number of cart-
ridges has not been filmed.
