Hello,
I'm wondering what the the little button (in the red box) is for?
78205
Also, can someone provide insight to micro-swing?
I see how to operate micro-swing with the top two wheels on either side of the camera - which swing the back out a bit on either side - wondering when this is useful, the micro-swing does not seem repeatable or as accurate as the other movements which are all geared (well I suppose the micro-swing is also geared, but it seems somewhat haphazard).
I'm also wondering about controls to rack the bed out further (e.g. for a longer lens) - there is a small screw on the bed that seems to have something to do with stopping this movement, I am wondering if just pulling the rails out is how you do it, this seems a bit brutish for such a nice camera.
The stock Wista screen seems pretty OK, wondering if anyone recommends the Beattie 85201 Intenscreen for Wista?
I've tried reading the manual, it's a very poor translation :)
Thanks,
Bill
