If you are using the sliding camera head,
depress the button (A) and, while holding it
in, push the head all the way to the right, so
that the viewing position is over the camera
lens.

If using the 44-44 fixed camera head, be sure

clockwise direction, to free the camera for
movement up or down the column. While
observing the image through the ground
glass, raise or lower the camera by turning
the height adjustment lever (D) until the
image is roughly of the required size.
