In addition to the DE -3 High-Eyepoint Finder, the F3
High -Eyepoint camera accepts various other in terchange-
able viewfinders. To remove the finder, slide the finder
release levers @ with your thumb and finger towards the
back of the camera (Fig. I), and lift the finder out (Fig. 2).
The DX-l AF Finder provides an electronic focus-aid
indication as you manually rotate the lens to obtain cor-
rect focus.
The DE -2 Eyelevel Finder offers regular eyelevel viewing
and is recommended for photographers who don't wear
glasses. The DW-3 Waist-Level Finder is ideal when you
want to
use the camera at a low angle or upside down over
your head for shooting over crowds. The DA-2 Action
F
inder works well for those situations when you can 't
bring your eye close to the finder, such as when you are
wearing a helmet or goggles or when the camera is en-
closed in a waterproof underwater housing. The DW -4 6X
Magnification Finder is for critical high -magnification
close-up work or photomicrography. Regardles s of which
finder is attached, you still have full au tomatic exposure
control because the meter is built not into the finder but
the body.
When using the DA-2 or DW-3, be careful that stray light
does not enter from t he top and cause an inflated meter
reading .
Caution: Before attaching the DX·l, the focusing screen inside the
camera body must be removed (refer to the next page).
