10-2-1 Cleaning the Viewfinder

Use a dust blower to clean the CRT screen and mirror

inside the viewfinder barrel.

Clean the lens and protecting filter with a commercially

available lens cleaner.

Caution

Never use organic solvents such as thinners.

Disassembling the eyepiece for cleaning

Detach the eyepiece from the viewfinder barrel.

For the detaching procedure, see 9-2-6 “Detaching

the Eyepiece” on page 158.

Remove the eyecup from the eyecup holder.

Remove the protecting filter, together with the packing

ring, from inside the eyecup holder.

Detach the protecting filter from the packing ring.

To ensure that the viewfinder is always clear, replace the

protecting filter with a fog-proof filter (Part No. 1-547-

341-11, not supplied).

Fitting the fog-proof filter

Replace the protecting filter on the packing ring with the

fog-proof filter.

Be sure to correctly assemble the fog-proof filter, the

packing ring, and the eyecup so that the reassembled

eyepiece is waterproof.

Note

When cleaning the fog-proof filter, wipe it very gently

with a soft cloth to avoid damaging the anti-fogging

coating.
