VIEWING
Hold the camera so your eye
is about an inch from the
viewfinder, and look through
the ce nter of the eyepiece.
You should see a square black
frame around the scene.
If you don't see all four corners
of the frame, move the camera
slightly until you do.
The SX-70 viewfinder shows
you what you will get in the
finished picture, so you can
frame your subject just the
way you want it in your picture.
The split circle you see in the
viewfinder is a focusing aid,
which is explained on page 12.
