| Viewfinder/LCD panel | |
| Viewfinder | Large, bright-line rangefinder with automatic parallax compensation, suitable for -0.5 dpt, optional corrective lenses available:
-3 to +3 dpt |
| Display | Four-digit digital display with items show on the top and bottom, Image field limiter: two lit frames: 35 mm + 135 mm,
28 mm + 90 mm, 50 mm + 75 mm (automatic switchover when lens is attached) |
| Parallax compensation | The horizontal and vertical difference between viewfinder and lens is compensated automatically in line with the relevant
focus setting. Congruence of viewfinder and actual image. The size of the bright-line frame matches the distance:
- at 2 m: the exact sensor size of approx. 23.9 x 35.8 mm
- at infinity: (depending on focal length) approx. 7.3% (28 mm) to 18% (135 mm)
- less than 2 m: less than sensor size |
