Eyepiece diopter adjustment

A sharply defined viewfinder image is
essential for exploiting the full potential of
the LEICA R6.2 and the high performance
of LEICA R-Lenses. The eyepiece lens is
therefore adjustable to your eyesight, within
the range from + 2 to - 2 diopters.
To adjust the eyepiece, pull out the small
setting wheel at its left and turn this to the
32
required setting. To do so, set the lens out of
focus, e. g. at the shortest focusing distance,
point the camera at the sky, look through
the viewfinder, and turn the setting wheel
until the circle that indicates the edge of the
field for the selective exposure-meter mode
is sharply defined and in good contrast.
Press the wheel back into its normal
position to retain the setting obtained.
In its normal position, the setting wheel
turns readily, but without altering the eye-
piece setting. When the wheel is pulled out,
you feel distinct click stops as you turn it.

Correction lenses

If the standard eyepiece adjustment from +2
to -2 diopters is inadequate for your
eyesight, the following positive and nega-
tive supplementary correction lenses are
available: 0.5,1.0,1.5, 2.0, and 3.0 diopters.
The correction lens is held in place firmly
by a special holder or by the eyecup. You
