Viewfinder
The DCS 300 series camera is an integration of Eastman Kodak Company electronics and
a Nikon Pronea 6i camera body. The camera body was originally designed for use with
Advanced Photo System film. Because the electronic imager in your DCS 300 series
camera is smaller than a negative of a film frame, the field of view of the camera’s
viewfinder is larger than what will actually be captured by the electronic imager.
The DCS 315 and DCS 330 viewfinders are seen below. The heavy black masking
surrounding the 8.4mm-diameter reference circle indicates the area of the scene that will
be captured when the shutter is released.
This field of view limitation has implications regarding the lenses used with the camera.
Refer to Appendix E (Focal Length Conversion).
