INSTRUCTIONS for bonding the metal interface frame to the camera body:
We do not recommend the use of a screen protector in between the mounting frame and your camera!
For maximum bond strength, the surface should be thoroughly cleaned. (Cleaning with dry and clean lens cloth will do as the adhesive tolerates a bit of grease.)
Bond strength can also be improved with firm application pressure and moderate heat, from 100°F (38°C) to 130°F (54°C), causing the adhesive to develop improved contact with the bonding surface.
Ideal tape application temperature range is 70°F to 100°F (21°C to 38°C).
Initial tape application to surfaces at temperatures below 50°F (10°C) is not recommended because the adhesive becomes too firm to adhere readily.
Application guide:
● Leave your camera recording** for approximately 12 minutes before and just after the frame is applied - as the camera gets moderately warm during the recording it helps to develop a stronger initial bond between the metal interface frame and your camera body
● But while you apply the interface frame set your camera to display a bright full screen image, such camera menu in it's brightest state etc to aid the correct and even placement of the interface frame
● Without removing the paper backing from the adhesive practice few times on how should the frame be applied onto the camera body
● We recommend that the round filleted tab shoud be in the upper right corner when applied
● Now, remove the paper backing and carefully apply the frame onto the camera body while ensuring an even placement around the LCD
● Apply pressure (massage it with your fingers) to ensure better bond between the frame and camera
● Leave a weight onto the freshly applied frame at least for 15 minutes while your camera is recording** as the heat generated will ensure a better fit specially if you are in a hurry
● Initial bond strength of approximately 76% is achieved after 15* minutes
Removing the metal interface frame from the camera body:
● Do not use sharp objects to aid the removal! (disposable plastic cutlery will do, but still be careful)
● Start the removal from the the round filleted tab in the upper right (or bottom left corner)
● Remove the frame gently and try not to bend it so you could reuse it (on Canon 5D the frame should come off as fully reusable)
● Use Citrus Cleaner for removing adhesive residues if needed.
Notice about magnets used in the mounting system:
There are 4 small magnets embedded in the plastic skirt of the LCDVF. The mounting frame acts as an additional safety shield to further ensure your confidence in the magnetic mounting system.
These magnets will not damage your camera or any non magnetic media such as CF or SD memory cards.
However do not leave the LCDVF mounted on your camera for extensive periods (for days or weeks).
Keep a safe distance (20mm+) between the magnets and all objects that can be damaged by magnetism. These include mechanical watches, heart pacemakers, CRT monitors and televisions, credit cards, diskettes and other magnetically stored media such as video tapes .
LCDVF OÜ does not accept responsibility for damage that has been caused by the improper handling of a LCDVF device.
