Overview
The Zacuto Sony FX6 Z-Finder is a specially designed optical viewfinder eyepiece for the Sony FX6 monitor. It comes with a flip-up frame that easily attaches to the LCD and can be quickly removed for shooting. The Z-Finder magnifies the screen by 2.5x and has a diopter for focus tuning. It also blocks out extraneous light and provides stability with a large eyecup. The included diopter range is -4.0 to 0.0, but additional diopters can be added for further adjustment. The Z-Finder also has a built-in sun mask and can be mounted using the Sony 15mm rod mount.

For shoulder-mounted shooting, Zacuto recommends using the FX6 Z-Finder Shoulder Mounting Kit. It is important to note that the Z-Finder can magnify the sun, potentially damaging the LCD screen. Therefore, it is advised to use the included lens cap to block light when not in use.

About the Zacuto Z-Finder for Sony FX6
The Zacuto Sony FX6 Z-Finder is specifically designed to suit the shape and size of the monitor included with the Sony FX6. It is the same optical viewfinder eyepiece but the mount is different for the FX6. The FX6 Z-Finder comes with a flip up frame designed to slide onto the FX6 LCD and lock securely in place. The Zacuto Z-Finder will pop on and off the frame for quick shooting. 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.

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 the comfy, large eyecup. The FX6 Z-finder comes with a 40mm diameter Zacuto optical designed lens, anti-fog coated protective covers, and the mounting system designed specifically for the FS5 LCD. 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 aluminium sun mask is built into the Z-Finder to protect your LCD screen from sunlight. Drop in diopters installed underneath this aluminium sun mask.

The included FX6 Mounting Bracket mounts the Z-Finder using the Sony 15mm rod mount. This includes a locking lever which screws into the flip frame to hold the LCD securely in place. The Mounting Bracket attaches to either the Sony adapter or any 15mm rod. This setup is NOT ideal for shoulder mounted; it will not get the eyepiece where you need it. Zacuto suggest the FX6 Z-Finder Shoulder Mounting Kit.

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.
