ACCESSORIES

Interchangeable viewfinders

In addition to the DE-3 High-Eyepoint Finder, the F3 High-Eyepoint camera accepts various other
interchangeable viewfinders. To remove the finder, slide the finder release levers 

 with your thumb and

finger towards the back of the camera (Fig. 1), and lift the finder out (Fig. 2). The DX-1 AF Finder provides an
electronic focus-aid indication as you manually rotate the lens to obtain correct focus.

The DE-2 Eyelevel Finder offers regular eyelevel viewing and is recommended for photographers who don't
wear glasses. The DW-3 Waist Level Finder is ideal when you want to use the camera at a low angle or upside
down over your head for shooting over crowds. The DA-2 Action Finder works well for those situations when
you can't bring your eye close to the finder, such as when you are wearing a helmet or goggles or when the
camera is enclosed in a waterproof underwater housing. The DW-4 6X Magnification Finder is for critical high
magnification close-up work or photomicrography. Regardless of which finder is attached, you still have full
automatic exposure control because the meter is built not into the finder but the body.

When using the DA-2 or DW-3, be careful that stray light does not enter from the top and cause an inflated meter
reading.

Caution:

 Before attaching the DX-1, the focusing screen inside the comera body must be removed (refer to

the next poge).
