LCD VIEWFINDER

Thank you for choosing the Elvid OptiView 150. This LCD
viewnder provides a clear 3x magnication for a 3-inch
LCD screen with 4:3 or 3:2 aspect ratio that’s built into
most DSLR cameras. The magnication creates a larger
than normal view of the image on your device’s screen,
facilitating ne detail focusing. Additionally, this easy to
install accessory blocks outside light, creating ideal viewing
conditions for video and photography users.

PRECAUTIONS
• Please read and follow these
instructions.
• Keep this manual in a safe
place.
• The OptiView’s lens acts
the same as a magnifying
glass, intensifying heat from
the sun during prolonged
exposure to direct sunlight.
Remove the viewnder when
not in use, as the camera’s
LCD may be damaged by the
magnied light.
• Do not use the viewnder’s
included lanyard to support
your camera. Use your
camera strap to support the
camera.

• Handle this product with care.
• Clean this product with a soft, dry cloth.
• Use only parts provided by the manufacturer.
• Make sure everything is secure before proceeding.
• Make sure that this product is intact and that there are no
missing parts before use.
