Matching viewfinder and actual image
At a range setting of 2 meters, the bright-line frame size corresponds
exactly to the sensor size of approx. 23.9 x 35.8mm. At infinity
setting, depending on the focal length, approx. 7.3% (28mm) to 18%
(135mm) more is recorded by the sensor than indicated by the
corresponding bright line frame and slightly less for shorter distance
settings than 2m.
Magnification (For all lenses)
0.68x
Large-basis rangefinder
Split or superimposed image range finder shown as a bright field in
the center of the viewfinder image.
Effective metering basis
47.1mm (mechanical measurement basis 69.25mm x viewfinder
magnification 0.68x).
Displays
In the viewfinder
