Eyepiece Diopter Adjustment
Adjustment is required for comfortable viewing if you wear corrective lenses. To
start the procedure, first switch the lens to MF and defocus the lens manually.
Point the camera at a bright, evenly lit area such as the sky or a white wall.
Look through the viewfinder and turn the diopter adjustment dial on the side
of the prism viewfinder until the AF area frames and Spot metering circle on
the focusing screen are in sharp focus. Turning the diopter adjustment dial
counter-clockwise adjusts for near-sightedness, clockwise for farsightedness.
If you normally wear eyeglasses for distance viewing, or close-up work, and
want to continue to wear them while using the camera, follow the procedure
described above. Alternatively, if you prefer to remove your eyeglasses while
working with the camera, please repeat the method of adjustment above
without wearing them.
If the build in diopter is not sucient, you may require an optional diopter
correction lens:
Part# 70278 Diopter correction lens DE402 (Near Sighted, -5 to -2 diopter)
Part# 70279 Diopter correction lens DE403 (Far sighted, 0 to +3 diopter)
For replacement of the supplied diopter correction lens, please order:
Part # 70277 Diopter correction lens DE401 (Standard, -2.5 to +0.5 diopter)
Removing the Eyecup
The eyecup supplied with the XF as standard is suitable for users who intend
to use the camera either with or without eyeglasses.To replace the factory
diopter, release the eyecup by pulling the small metal latch on the top towards
you. Then slide the eyecup up and out of the eyecup rail.
Changing the Viewfinder Diopter Lens
To change the diopter correction lens, first remove the eyecup then gently
slide the diopter lens down, and out of the diopter rail. Reinstall the new
diopter lens, and make sure it is positioned back correctly with the small click-
lock tab facing up on the left-hand side.
