If for some reason you need to remove the mounting frame from the camera LCD, pinch the top and bottom sides of the frame until the seal breaks. Then use your fingernail to pull up one of the corners. Be careful to not pull the LCD screen out of your camera. Place a finger or thumb on the screen while pulling off the mount. Any left over glue residue can be rubbed away. Additional frames are available for purchase.

WARNING: The Z-Finder is a magnifier and will magnify the sun’s light to possibly damage the camera’s LCD if the sun is allowed to shine directly through the Z-Finder lens. This is not a defect but a normal physical property of the lens. Take caution to avoid direct sunlight or any other strong light into the Z-Finder. Please cover the lens with the included lens cap when your eye is not in the Z-Finder.

WARNING: The lanyard is never intended to support the camera’s weight either by itself or when attached to the Z-Finder. The lanyard is only intended to support the Z-Finder by itself. If using a camera strap, make sure it is adjusted to be shorter than the lanyard so that the camera could never hang by the lanyard alone.

Remove the Z-Finder Jr. from package. You should find a Z-Finder Jr. attached rubber eye cup with a lens cap, the Jr. Mounting Bracket, two Extender Frames, two mounting frames (one with rubber, one with adhesive). A red lanyard loop already installed & Zacuto Lanyard.

First, find your focus. Decide if you will be using the Z-finder with or without glasses. Turn on your camera. Use the menu screen to aid in finding focus by looking for the sharpness of the letters when you place the Z-Finder Jr. up to the screen. Before placing the Z-finder Jr. on the screen, insert the frame with the rubber seal into the Z-Finder skirt. If the image is out of focus, remove the frame with the rubber seal, attach the first Extender Frame to the Z-Finder by snapping it onto the front of the Z-Finder Jr. skirt, reinsert the frame with the rubber seal into the end of the Extender Frame and test again. Always add an Extender Frame to the previously-mounted Extender Frame. The number of frames you need to attach will depend on your personal eyesight.*

To adjust the position of the Z-finder on the LCD screen, you must loosen the ¼-20 screw slightly and reposition while looking through the Z-finder at an image on the LCD. Then re-tighten.

If using a Canon T2i (550D), an extra step in mounting the frame is necessary to protect the proximity sensors.

Before pealing the paper backing off the mounting frame find the area indicated by 2 lines.

This area has been pre cut and is the area to be pealed off first.

Once the paper backing has been pealed from here, rub off the adhesive with your finger.

Once cleared of the adhesive, peal the rest of the paper backing off the frame. Line up the adhesive free area with the proximity sensors that are just under the cameras view finder.

Line up and adhere the frame as instructed in the main directions.

To mount the Z-Finder Jr., there are two options. The first is with the Z-Finder Jr. Mounting Bracket. For this, you must use a tripod plate or quick release plate. The Jr. Bracket is sandwiched between the camera body and the tripod plate. To mount the Z-Finder Jr. Mounting Bracket, place it rubber pad down toward camera body, and adjust so that the tripod hole is visible. Place your tripod plate and align with the ¼-20 hole of your camera and partially tighten the screw of the plate with a screwdriver.

Place the Z-Finder Jr. down into the cradle of the Z-Finder Jr. Mounting Bracket. Adjust the rubber frame so it rests firmly against and centered on the LCD screen of the camera.

Put pressure on the back of the mounting plate towards the camera body. When the Z-Finder Jr. & Z-Finder Jr. Mounting Bracket are snug against the camera, tighten down the tripod plate with a screwdriver.

The second option for mounting the Z-Finder Jr. is with the Z-Finder stick on frame. To do this, turn on the camera and light up the LCD with the menu screen. Take the mounting frame and peel off the adhesive protection. With two hands (fingers on the four corners of the frame), slowly bring the frame down into the LCD screen. Be careful to align the edges of the frame with the edges of the LCD image. Slowly continue down until there is contact. Before applying pressure, make sure that the frame is aligned and square. Place weighted object upon the frame and allow 24 hours to cure.

5 To remove an extender frame, place the palm of your hand against one of the longer sides of the frame, wrap fingers to the other side. Squeeze and pull apart.
