Zacuto EVA1 Z-Finder

The Zacuto EVA1 Z-Finder is specifically designed for the monitor included with the Panasonic EVA1 camera. The EVA1 Z-Finder features a flip-up frame designed to slide onto the EVA1 LCD and lock securely in place. The red lever at the bottom of the frame allows you to quickly flip the Z-Finder without removing it entirely. This is convenient when a client wants to look into the viewfinder.

This Z-Finder magnifies the LCD screen by 1.8x 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 a large, comfortable eyecup. The EVA1 Z-finder features a 40mm diameter Zacuto designed optical lens and anti-fog coated protective covers. 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 users who are farsighted. The diopter range with the included lens and extender frames is -4.0 to 0.0.

If you require more adjustment than the Extender Frames provide, you can add drop-in diopters (sold separately) for further diopter adjustment. The -1, +1, +2, +3, and +4 interchangeable anti-fog diopters 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 direct sunlight (drop-in diopters install underneath this aluminum sun mask).

The EVA1 flip up features a 15mm rod mount that can attach to Panasonic's mount, or to the Zacuto EVA1 top plate with the addition of a Z-Rail Axis Mount (both sold separately). It can also be used with the Axis Mini EVF Mount with the addition of the LCD Axis Adapter (both sold separately).  This wide range of adjustment enables the user to place the Z-Finder in a comfortable position for shoulder mounted shooting.

IMPORTANT NOTE: The Z-Finder is a magnifier, through which direct sunlight can damage the LCD screen if intense light 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.
