5.8 Inserting and replacing the format mask
Use the format mask to adapt the size of the image in the focusing screen to the size of
the image actually captured. The format mask is placed on the focusing screen, and is
already inserted when the camera is delivered.
Background information: The focusing screen of the Sinar Hy6 has a size of 6 x 6 cm,
while the dimensions of the CCD-sensor are smaller. In this way, the size of the image in
the focusing screen does not correspond to the size of the image finally captured. By
using the format mask, the size of the image in the focusing screen is adapted, and the
loss of image areas can be prevented.
Fig. 5 / 29 Replace format mask
The format mask is inserted between the
focusing screen and the metal frame.
Remove the focusing screen from the metal
frame. Place the format mask exactly onto
the focusing screen, then re-insert the
focusing screen into the frame.
Make sure that both the format mask and
the focusing screen are placed exactly one
over another, and that the focusing screen
is inserted into the frame as far as possible.
Replace the frame with the focusing screen
into its original position. You will hear a
click when the focusing screen is locked.
The image crop that visible in the focusing screen now corresponds to the image that is
finally captured. Depending on the image orientation, landscape or portrait format is
shown.
