The Zacuto Sony Burano Z-Finder is specifically designed to work with the monitor included with the Sony Burano camera. It replaces the Sony viewfinder piece so you can quickly flip up the Z-Finder and use it as a monitor or EVF without the need to change direction of the monitor.
The Z-Finder frame slides into the mechanism on the Sony monitor and locks into place using their hinge. The viewfinder is the same standard Z-Finder with 2.5x lens (Z-FIND-PRO2). The red lever at the bottom of the frame allows you to quickly flip the Z-Finder up without removing it from the frame. If a producer/client/director etc. wants to see into the viewfinder, you can flip it open instead of having to adjust so they can get their eye to the loupe. The Z-Finder can snap on and off the frame for quick shooting as well.
The Z-Finder does not interfere with the Sony viewfinder mounting arm.
This Z-finder will magnify the LCD screen by 2.5x and has a diopter for specific focus tuning. It cuts out any extraneous light and offers an initial point of stability by pressing your eye against our comfy, large eyecup. The Z-finder comes with a 40mm diameter Zacuto optical designed lens, anti-fog coated protective covers, and the mounting system designed specifically for the Burano. The diopter allows you to dial in the focus to match your eye. If you need extra focal points you can use the included Z-Finder Extender Frames. These are semi-permanent stackable frames that attach to the body of the Z-Finder and extend the Z-Finder glass further away from the LCD screen for people who are farsighted. The diopter range with the included lens and extender frames is -4.0 to 0.0.
If you need more adjustment than the Extender Frames provide, you can add drop in diopters for further diopter adjustment. The interchangeable anti-fog glass diopters, -1, +1, +2, +3 and +4, correct the focus to your vision for perfect clarity. An aluminum sun mask is built into the Z-Finder to protect your LCD screen from sunlight. Drop in diopters are installed underneath this aluminum sun mask.
Special Notes:
WARNING: The Z-finder is a magnifier and as such will magnify the sun which can damage the LCD screen if the sun is allowed to shine directly through the Z-finder lens. Use the enclosed lens cap to block light from entering your Z-finder when not in use.
