If you assign “VF Mode” to one of the assignable
buttons (see page 72), you can switch between
color and monochrome by pressing the button.
Adjusting the position (distance from
your eye)
Loosening the fixing lever below the handle
(rotating it toward the viewfinder) permits you to
horizontally pull out the support bar and move the
viewfinder forward or rearward with the support
bar as the axis.
1 Adjust the horizontal position.
2 Move the viewfinder forward or
rearward for the best position.
Tighten the fixing lever after the adjustments.
Note
When you move the viewfinder forward or
rearward, the angle of the viewfinder varies
simultaneously.
Adjust the angle for your best position after
tightening the fixing lever.
Adjusting the angle

Note
If the fixing lever below the handle is loose, the
position may vary when you adjust the angle. Be
sure to tighten the lever in advance.
