Viewfinder
The viewfinder can be swivelled three-dimensionally. It
can be swang over approx. 190° from the left to the
right side of the camera, with an attached video-assist-
system approx. 120°. The viewfinder can be rotated
360° and can be swivelled a further 25° outwards for
left eye viewing. An automatic image compensator
provides an image which is upright and correct left-to-
right. Only when it is swivelled outside of the main axes
is there an image distortion which however can be fully
compensated by the new manual image compensator.

If friction in the left-right swivel and the 25° swivel
gradually decreases it should be reset. See chapter 13.

convenient viewing comfort:
