Eyepiece Adjustment - Leica R9 Instructions Manual

1.27

Eyepiece adjustment

In order to take full advantage of the LEICA R9's
potential and the high performance of the Leica
R-lenses, the viewfinder image must be sharp
when you view it. The eyepiece (1.29) can there-
fore by adjusted by ± 2 diopters, so that it is
exactly set to match your eye. To do this, use the
dial (1.27) to the left of the eyepiece
1. Pull it out slightly to release it
2. While looking at the viewfinder image, turn it
until the markings for the selective metering
field are sharp and in contrast.

Note:
It is recommended that you make this setting
without a lens or with the lens set to its shortest
distance and while aiming the camera at an
evenly bright subject (e.g. the sky).
3. After setting, push the dial back in to lock the
selected eyepiece setting.
The markings allow you to repeat a setting once
you have found it.
If the eyepiece adjustment range is not sufficient
to make an optimum setting, additional correc-
tion lenses are available (see "Eyepiece correc-
tion lenses, p.194).
