Adjusting The Diopter Correction

Pentax FA-1 and FA-2 Interchangeable Viewfinders feature built-in diopter

correction for the focusing convenience of eyeglass weartrs. To adjust the

degree of correction, first move the finder release lever counter-clockwise and

gently slide the finder away from the body until the diopter adjustment screw is

visible. With the finder in this position, carefully bring the camera up to your

eye and look at split-image center spot in the center of the viewfinder. Using the

tool packed with the finder, turn the adjustment screw until the border lines of

the center spot come in sharp and crisp. Remove the tool and slide the finder

toward the front of the camera body to once again lock it securely in place.

MOUNTING THE LENS

After removing the rear lens and body caps, hold the camera firmly in your left hand

and align the red dot A on the camera body with the red dot B on the lens. Insert the

lens into the body chamber until it seats against the lens mount and turn it clockwise

until it locks into place with an audible click. In dim light situations where it becomes

difficult to see the red dots, align the raised white node C on the lens barrel with the

lens release D by touch and continue mounting the lens as described.

When mounting longer lenses such as telephoto or zoom focal lengths, it's a good idea

to rest the camera body in the palm of the left hand. This procedure provides a better

balance and more convenient handling during the mounting operation.

WHEN CHANGING LENSES OUTDOORS WITH FILM IN THE

CAMERA, TAKE THE ADDED PRECAUTION OF AVOIDING DIRECT

SUNLIGHT.

Removing the Lens

To remove the lens, hold the camera in the left hand and press the Lens release button

D while turning the lens counter-clockwise with the right hand.

IMPORTANT: If it becomes necessary to put the lens down without the rear lens

cap in place, make sure the lens rests only with the front element down. Never put the

lens down with the front element up.

ADVANCING THE FILM

frame indication accuracy.
