Page 28: Frequently Asked Questions
Why is anti-fog so important? A: When an EVF or optical viewfinder fogs up, game over. It becomes unusable. Zacuto spent a lot of time coming up with our Zacuto anti- fog formula. Z-Finder version 1 owners complained about fog more than any other issue. - Page 29 Why can’t I get a picture sometimes when I plug-in the HDMI cable while the EVF is on? A: This is not unique to the Zacuto EVF. If the EVF is already on, you must plug in the HDMI cable in one swift movement with no stopping or hesitation.
