Never press (he button {20) for cross^
couplhifi qI stuifler and dhpJtragm when
ihe shurter speed ring (25) is iocked in
the L position or when changing lenses
because the cross-coupUng mechanism
could then be damaged.
FocuMng
The lens is focused wiih the knurled ring
(21) m the front of Ihc lens barrel- The
ring is routed until the subject achieves
maxiinuin sharpness on the focusing
screen.
The distance hetvkeen the subject and film
plane is then shown on the distance scale
(22) opposite the distance index (3i. Fig.
33).
There arc limits to the distance within
which close and remote objects can be
reproduced sharply at a given f/stop.
These limits, referred to as deplh-of-field.
vary with the aperture used. A small
f/'siop yields more dcpth-of-field than a
large f/stop when (he lens is focused on
the same distance.
The d«pth*of-fieId at a given f/stop can
be read off on the depth-oMield scale (23,
Fig. 33) on either side of the distance index
(31). In the example shown on this page,
the lens is set at 15 ft. At f/16, depth-of-
field would range from 10 ft to 50 ft.
Depth'Of'field preview (Fig. 34)
A is usually focused wide open be¬
cause the minimum depth-oMlcld >ie!ded
there makes vievstinder images snap in
and out of focus more readily. But you
can still check out (he dcpih*of*field
available at your preselected f/siop by
pressing (he upper part of the deplh-of-
field preview ca(ch <34) with your left
thumb. This stops the diaphragm down to
your preselected f/stop. Pressure on (he
lower part of Ihe catch restores the dia¬
phragm to its maximum aperture. The lens
aulomatically stops down to the pre¬
selected f/stop when the camera is trig¬
gered. After exposure the diaphragm re¬
opens to the maxiimim aperlurc-
Advancing the film
The film is advanced and the .shutter
by cocked one full turn of (he folding
crank (2). Do not press the release button
^hen turning the crank as (his could cause
an unintentional exposure.

Using C lenses with (he 2000FC
Focul plane »hu(lcr And C lenses
Since the buUhin leaf siiutier in the C hns
is not used when the photographer elects to
work with the }0OOFCs focal plane shuuerf
ihe shutter speed ring on the C has must be
set ar B (grun). The synchronizaiian and
self-timer selector on the C lenses must be
set at X.
NOTE: If (he synehronUatfon selector Is
SCI at (he M Instead of Ihe X setting, the
catch <1) must be pressed forward before
ibe selector will sl^t to X« (See Fig. 38.)
Be careful not to dislodge the B (green)
selling on the lens when setting an f/s(op.
The camera's shutter speed ring (25) can
(hen be set at an appropriate speed (B,
M/2000 s).
Leaf shutter option
Wlicn the leaf shutter In a C lens is used
In combination nith the lObOFC, the
camerashutter speed ring <25) must be
set at € (red) on the speed scale and
locked at L with the lever (3$). vtith this
arrangemetU. the 2000FCs focal plane
shutter serves as a blind, and the leaf
shutter in the C lens handles the exposure
and flash syrKhronhailon.
The shutter speed and f/srop are set on
the C lens. The shutter speed ring (B) aud
diaphragm ting (C) are normally cross-
coupled. However, when the cross^ou-
release (D) U pressed back, the dia¬
phragm is disengaged, permitting indepen¬
dent setting of aperture and shutter speed
values oppt^te the index (A).

Depth-of-ficid is previewed with the catch
<F). Freising on the top of the catch stops
the lens demn to Ihe prcf^elected f/$(op.
The diaphragm can ie reopened to the
inaximum apertiwe by turning the dia¬
phragm ring to the value denoting the
maximum aperture.
NOTES At shutter speeds of U4 v or
longer, the exposure release button must
be kept depressed untU the loaf shutter
has had time to open and close.
Self-timer
Xo operate the self-timer press the detent
release (J* 38) forward and cock
(he self-timer by nioving Ihc lever (K) to
the V setting. Pressure on Ihe camera
release button starts a mechanism nMch
triggers Ihe sliullcr after %—10 S.
NOTE: The release button must be kept
depressed (most conveniently with a
locking cable rclea.se) until (he shuUer has
been tr^gcred.
If a locking cable release is used lo make
the e.xposure, ihe locking mechanism must
be disengaged before the camera is re¬
cocked and the film advanced.
