ADVICE
Permanent Activation of the Viewfinder OLED Display
Permanent activation can cause irreversible burn-ins on the viewfinder OLED display.
Do not cover the viewfinder proximity sensor. When covered, the viewfinder OLED display will be
switched on permanently.
If you need to cover the viewfinder, disable the viewfinder OLED display first using the EVF
Power setting.
When shooting in hot environments, make sure to have the viewfinder mounted on the viewfinder
bracket to ensure proper cooling.
If the viewfinder is used as a remote control without standing support, turn off the viewfinder
OLED display using the EVF Power setting.
Built-in Eyepiece Heater
The MVF-2 is equipped with a built-in eyepiece heater to prevent fogging of the eyepiece when
shooting in cold environments. The eyepiece heater can be activated in the camera menu and only
becomes active when the eyepiece has a temperature of 15 °C (59 °F) or below. In extremely cold
environments please use the Heated Eyecup HE-7.
