Z-Finder EVF User ManualFrequently Asked QuestionsSee the full list of questions at www.Zacuto.com/zfinderevfQ: Will this EVF have HD-SDI?A: Not this version. We hope to make another version or converter withHD-SDI later down the road. Adding HD-SDI does add cost and wewanted to keep the cost as low as possible. Only a small majorityof users are interested in HD-SDI so it doesn’t make sense to haveeveryone have to pay for a feature that most will not use. Since everycamera, including the new Sony F3, AG-AF100 and DSLR’s, hasHDMI we went that way. The future model or converter will allow youto come in HDMI and cross convert to HD-SDI for output to an HD-SDImonitor. It will also allow you to accept HD-SDI as an input.Q: Will I be able to use my Z-Finder EVF and Z-Finder EVF Prostraight out of the box without buying anything else?A: Yes, it will come with everything you need: a hotshoe ball mount,rechargeable battery, battery charger, HDMI cable & case. You canstart shooting with it immediately. If you already own a Z-Finder Jr orPro, you can purchase the EVF snap or EVF Flip Up and be ready toshoot straight out of the box.Q: Why is anti-fog so important?A: When an EVF or optical viewfinder fogs up, game over. It becomesunusable. Zacuto spent a lot of time coming up with our Zacuto antifog formula. Z-Finder version 1 owners complained about fog morethan any other issue. Your normal body temperature is almost 100degrees but the Z-finder optic will never reach that point. The humanbody also naturally puts out a lot of moisture. These two factors combined mean any optical viewfinder will fog. To eliminate the fog, youneed to separate yourself from the viewfinder to let the fog dissipate,and then you can begin to shoot again. This is a huge problem whendoing shots over 30 seconds. You must have anti-fog to really have ausable product. We rectified the problem with the anti-fog protectivecovers. Our Z-finder Pro models come with two expendable anti-fogprotective covers included. All Zacuto version 1 Z-finders can easilyand inexpensively be upgraded to anti-fog with the addition of the antifog protective upgrade kit.27
Q: Why does my EVF have excessive strobing while panning?A: We have tested the EVF for what people have complained as excessive strobing while panning and have discovered that our EVF doesnot strobe any more than any other monitor. It appears that waybecause you are magnifying the image with the Z-Finder.Q: Why can’t I get a picture sometimes when I plug-in the HDMI cablewhile the EVF is on?A: This is not unique to the Zacuto EVF. If the EVF is already on, youmust plug in the HDMI cable in one swift movement with no stoppingor hesitation. It has to do with the communication between the twodevices, the “handshake”.Z-Finder EVF User ManualFrequently Asked Questions28
