MANUAL

Thank you for choosing Elvid.

The Elvid OptiView 100 is a viewfinder that blocks out bright
light so you can see the image on your LCD screen in greater
detail. It fits screens up to 3.2 inches and features multi-coated
optical glass for sharp images from edge to edge. A ±3 diopter
is easy to adjust and makes it possible to use the viewfinder
without glasses. Adhere the magnetic mounting frame to your
screen and quickly snap on the viewfinder. This provides
optimal viewing conditions when shooting video or photos, so
you see only your image.

PRECAUTIONS

• Please read the following instructions.

• Keep this manual in a safe place.

• Remove the viewfinder when not in use for long
periods of time. The OptiView’s lens could act as a
magnifying glass which intensifies the direct light
from the sun. This can cause damage to the LCD
screen of your camera.

• Do not use the lanyard to support the weight of
the OptiView while attached to the camera. The
lanyard is meant to support only the weight of
the OptiView.

• Handle this product with care.

• Clean this product with a soft, dry cloth.

• Make sure that this product is intact and that
there are no missing parts before use.

• Images are for illustrative purposes only.

MOUNTING THE OPTIVIEW 100

Note: Once the OptiView 100’s mounting frame is
attached to the camera with adhesive, the
adhesive cannot be reused.

1. Clean the camera’s LCD screen with a soft,

dry cloth.

2. Remove the mounting frame from

the viewfinder.

3. Remove the protective
strip on the adhesive side
of the mounting frame.
Make sure to carefully
center the mounting
frame before securing it
on your camera’s LCD
screen. Apply the
adhesive at room
temperature.

4. Once mounted on the
camera, attach the
viewfinder to the
mounting frame. The
magnets on the
viewfinder allow it to
snap into place.

USING THE OPTIVIEW 100
AS AN LCD SHADE

1. Detach the viewfinder
from the magnetic
mounting frame on
the LCD.

2. Firmly hold the
viewfinder, apply
pressure to the grooves,
and separate the two
pieces.

3. Reattach the lower
half of the viewfinder
onto the mounting frame
until it snaps into place.

USING THE RUBBER BUMPER

The rubber bumper covers the end of the
viewfinder. This is ideal to eliminate scratches
when used over your camera’s LCD screen while
quickly viewing your image.

REMOVING THE OPTIVIEW 100

Note: Once the OptiView’s mounting frame has been
detached from the camera, it cannot be reattached.

1. Remove the viewfinder from the mounting frame.

2. Heat the mounting frame with a blow-dryer

approximately 2 inches away for 30 to 45 seconds.

3. When the frame's adhesive loosens, use your

fingernail to lift the frame off of the camera. Do not
pry the frame with a hard object that can damage
the LCD screen. Apply more heat with the
blow-dryer if the frame does not release easily.
