VIEWFINDER
The Nikonos 1I has a built-in bright-line viewfinder on top
of the camera for use on land. The viewfinder image
corresponds to the picture area of the 35mm lens. At a
camera-to-subject distance as close as 2.75 feet (0.8m),
however, a slight parallax is evident. In this case, compose
with the aid of the parallax indicator lines in the viewfinder to
see what the final picture will include.
Note: An accessory viewfinder for use with the 80mm lens on land is
available separately.
Underwater Viewfinder
A sports-type viewfinder slides into the accessory shoe on top
of the camera for underwater photography. Individual
viewfinders are available for each of the interchangeable
lenses. They indicate the edges of the picture area and have
crossbars to show the center of the frame. Underwater
viewfinders are also useful on land for following fast-moving
action. For details refer to the instructions supplied with the
underwater viewfinders.
