The Viewfinder Display
The focus-area and grid-line displays in the viewfinder (advanced focusing screen display) tend to brighten at high temperatures and to darken and exhibit slower response times at low temperatures. The other displays in the viewfinder tend darken at high temperatures and exhibit slower response times at low temperatures. All displays will return to normal at room temperature.
The Shutter-Release Button
The camera has a two stage shutter-release button. The camera sets focus and exposure when the button is pressed halfway. Focus and exposure will remain locked while the shutter-release button is kept in this position.
The Clock Battery
The clock-calendar is powered by an independent, rechargeable power source, which is charged as necessary when the main batteries are installed or the camera is powered by an optional EH-5 AC adapter. Three days of charging is sufficient to provide about one month of back-up power. If the CLOCK icon fl ashes in the control panel, the clock battery is exhausted and the clock has been reset to 2004.01.01 00:00:00.

Hold the hand grip in your right hand and cradle the cam era body or lens with your left.
Viewfinder Focus
The viewfinder is equipped with diopter adjustment to ac com mo date individual differences in vision. To adjust viewfinder focus, slide the diopter adjustment control up and down until the viewfinder display and focus brackets are in sharp focus. If necessary, the rubber eyepiece cup can be removed; when the cup is replaced, the lettered face should be down.
