INTRODUCTION

Thank you for choosing the Elvid OptiView 250. This LCD viewnder provides 3×
magnication for 3.0″ and 3.2″ LCD screens. It features a tripod socket mount and a

fully adjustable design that assures compatibility with most cameras.

The 3x magnication of the OptiView 250 creates a larger-than-normal view of the
image on the LCD screen, facilitating ne detail focusing. It blocks outside light

creating ideal viewing conditions for photography and video. And the soft rubber eye

piece prohibits stray light from affecting viewnder image quality even when used

with eyeglasses.

The viewnder features a diopter for ne tuning the focus, and it can be adjusted to
t the left or right eye. A simple release latch allows the viewnder to ip up for easy

access to touch screens or in case a 1:1 view of the LCD is desired. A sturdy mounting

bracket and mounting plate with quick release assure a snug t for most cameras. The

included tall rails provides compatibility for cameras with battery grips.

lens is similar to a magnifying glass,

prolonged exposure to direct sunlight. This

can cause damage to the LCD screen of
your camera.
