0 Using the Sports Finder
With Waist-Level Finder S in the closed
position, first raise the sports finder
eyepiece (B) to a vertical position. The
eyepiece sight folds into the eyepiece
base; when lifted out of the base, the
eyepiece sight will stay in a vertical
position because of the eyepiece
spring. Next, lift the wire-frame (C) of
the sports finder.
As the Waist-Level Finder Hood can be
opened even with the sports finder
mask raised, focusing can be quickly
and easily checked. (However, if the
finder hood is first opened, the sports
finder wire-frame cannot be raised.)
0 Using the Auxiliary Mask
The wire-frame of the sports finder in-
dicates the field for the 80mm lenses.
When desiring to use the 110, 150, or
210mm lens, the auxiliary mask must be
attached to the wire-frame. When de-
siring to open the Waist-Level Finder
Hood, while the auxiliary mask is at-
tached to the raised frame, first pull the
bottom of the auxiliary mask out to the
second notch, in order to prevent the
auxiliary mask from blocking the finder
hood.
Setting the auxiliary mask to the second
notch has no adverse effects on the
accuracy of the indicated fields; there-
fore, it is perfectly acceptable to use
the sports finder in this condition. Addi-
tionally, when the auxiliary mask is set
to the second notch, it is also possible
to lower it over the closed finder hood,
although it is recommended to remove
the auxiliary mask before lowering the
wire-frame in order to minimize
scratches on the surface of the plastic
mask.
