Using the external electronic viewfinder
- 197 -
The external electronic viewfinder Leica EVF3 (available as accessory (→8)) allows
controlling the image even if the camera is held below eye level or if the monitor image
visibility is difficult, e.g. due to bright light from behind.
Preparation:
• Turn the camera ON/OFF switch to [OFF].
• Remove the hot shoe cover. (→9)
Firmly insert the viewfinder into the hot shoe, as far as it will
go
Turn the camera ON/OFF switch to [ON]
Press the [EVF/LCD] button of the viewfinder to switch the
display
• You can switch between monitor and viewfinder display.
• The display selected by pressing the [EVF/LCD] button will be stored in memory
even when the camera ON/OFF switch is set to [OFF].
■
To automatically display the playback screen on the monitor
When [Play on LCD] (→37) in the [Setup] menu is set to [ON], the monitor will turn
on when the camera is switched from recording to playback mode. This operation
eliminates the time needed to switch between monitor and viewfinder when recording
pictures using the viewfinder.
●
Attach and detach the viewfinder carefully and correctly.
●
The viewfinder cannot be used together with an external flash.
●
When the shoulder strap is attached, make sure that the strap does not get snagged
on the viewfinder.
●
Never hold the camera/viewfinder combination only by the viewfinder. Doing so could
result in the camera accidentally detaching from the viewfinder.

Refer to the instructions for the viewfinder for further details.
