TDC Vivid viewing/framing

[P3D Michael Kaplan <mkaplan@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I think I've solved the viewing problem with my Vivid. I set the camera 
on a tripod 8' from a gridded test pattern. With the camera back open, I 
centered the test pattern at the film plane (+/- for L/R disparity) and 
checked the images against the viewfinder. I noticed that I wasn't 
looking straight into the viewfinder, with the result that my pictures 
were "off center." This was probably due to the slight curvature in the 
camera back, resulting in an ergonomic situation that encourages angled 
viewing. Knowing this, I can probably "correct" the error.
