Interchangeable viewfinders
In addition to the DE-3 High-Eyepoint Finder, the F3
High-Eyepoint camera accepts various other interchange-
able viewfinders. To remove the finder, slide the finder
release levers @ with your thumb and finger towards the
back of the camera (Fig. I), and lift the finder out (Fig. 2).
The DX-l AF Finder provides an electronic focus-aid
indication as you manually rotate the lens to obtain cor-
rect focus.
The DE-2 Eyelevel Finder offers regular eyelevel viewing
and is recommended for photographers who don't wear
g lasses. The DW-3 Waist-Level Finder is ideal when you
want to use the camera at a low angle or upside down over
your head for shooting over crowds. The DA-2 Action
Finder works well for those situations when you can't
bring your eye close to the finder, such as when you are
wearing a helmet or goggles or when the camera is en-
closed in a waterproof underwater housing. The DW -4 6X
Magnification Finder is for critical high-magnification
close-up work or photomicrography. Regardless of which
finder is attached, you still have full automatic exposure
control because the meter is built not into the finder but
the body.
When using the DA-2 or DW-3 , be careful that stray light
does not enter from the top and cause an inflated meter
reading .
Caution:
Before attaching the DX·l, the focusing screen inside the
camera body must be removed (refer to the next page).
