6.3 Extension eyepiece
For operator comfort, the extension eyepiece can be tele-
scoped from its compressed position to any desired length
up to its maximum position. Image size, focus and bright-
ness remain the same throughout all positions.
To telescope, rotate the telescoping lock toward the camera
to unlock, pull the eyepiece to the desired viewing position
and rotate the telescoping lock in direction of lock arrow.
To properly focus the eyepiece, first defocus the camera lens
and rotate the diopter focus ring to achieve the best
crosshair focus on the ground glass. A white marker ring
around the focus may be marked with a pencil for individual
settings.
Panaclear is used to keep the eyepiece fog free. If conditions
require, plug the Panaclear into a top or back handle
equipped with a Panaclear plug. Panaclear handles also have
on/off switches.
The magnifier enlarges the center of the image two times
when it is necessary to critically focus on a part of the scene.
Push the lever down to engage the magnifier. Flip the lever
up to disengage.
The extension eyepiece has an arm that can be pivoted out
and used to rest the eyepiece on the camera door hinge pin.
The arm is located on the side of the eyepiece closest to the
camera.
The eyepiece leveler is used in order to maintain operator
viewing position as the camera is being tilted up and down.
The leveler is attached to the head via a screw shaft and can
be used on Panahead as well as fluid heads.
Attach the leveler to the eyepiece by squeezing the silver lock-
ing tabs together and inserting the leveler stud into the mount.
For more information on the eyepiece leveler, see Section 3.1.
The leveler can be adjusted to the desired length by unlocking
any of the three locking collars and telescoping the shaft.
NOTE: Make sure the pivot lock is loose when using the leveler.
