WARNING:
Never
press
the
button
(20)
for
cross-
coupling
of
shutter
and diaphragm
when
the
shutter
speed ring
(25)
is locked
in
the
L
position
or
when
changing
lenses
because
the
cross-coupling
mechanisnt
could
then
be
damaged.
Focusing
The lens
is
focused
with
the knurled
ring
(21)
at the front
of the lens
barrel.
The
ring is
rotated
until
the
subject
achieves
maximum
sharpness
on
the
focusing
screen.
The
distance
between
the
subject
and
film
plane
is
then
shown
on the
distance
scale
Q2)
opposite
the
distance
index
(31,
Fig.
33).
There
are
limits
to the
distance within
which
close
and remote
objects can be
reproduced
sharply
at
a
given
f/stop.
These limits,
referred
to
as
depth-of-field,
vary
with
the
aperture used. A small
f/stop
yields
,more
depth-of-field than
a
large f/stop
when
the
lens is
focused
on
the
same
distance.
The
depth-of-field
at a
given
f/stop
can
be read
off
on the
depth-of-field scale
(23,
Fig.33)
on either
side of the distance
index
(31).
In the
example shown on this
page,
the
lens is
set at t5 ft.
At f/I6, depth-of-
field
would range
from 10 ft
to 50 ft.
Depth-of-field
preview
(Fig.
34)
A
lens
is
usually focused
wide open
be-
cause
the minimum
depth-of-field
yielded
there makes
viewfinder
images snap in
and
out of
focus
more
readily.
But
you
can still
check out the depth-of-field
available al
your
preselected
f/stop
by
pressing
the
upper
part
of the depth-of-
field
preview
catch
(34)
with
your
left
thumb.
This stops the
diaphragm
down to
your preselected
f/stop. Pressure on
the
lower
part
of the
catch
restores the
dia-
phragm
to
its
maximum
aperture.
The lens
automatically
stops
down to
the
pre-
selected
f/stop
when the camera
is trig-
gered.
After
exposure the
diaphragm re-
opens to the
maximum
aperture.
Advancing the
film
The
f,ilm is advanced
and
,the
sh,utter
by cocked
one full
tu,rn
of the folding
crank

Do not
press
the
release
button
when turning
the crank
as this
could
cause
an unintentional exposur
