FOCUSING
THE CAMERA
Set the camera lens for the correct camera-
to-subject distance by moving the FOCUS
SLIDE,
located on the front of the camera .
Never focus the camera by turning the lens
itself
or you may damage the focusing mech-
anism.
You can
choose from three ways of focus-
ing the
camera-using the focus symbols,
using the
distance scale, or using the zoom-
ing
circle .
Focus Symbols
Move the focus slide so that the arrow on
the slide pOints to the
correct symbol. The
close-up symbol (~) indicates the range 3 Y,
to 6 feet; the group symbol (Q&) , 6 to 12
feet; and the scene symbol
(0,,) , beyond 12
feet.
Distance Scale
Estimate or measure the camera-to-subject
distance ; then move the focus slide until the
INDEX LINE is opposite the correct distance
on the DISTANCE SCALE surrounding the lens.
The white scale
indicates the distance in
feet; the yellow in meters.
Zooming Circle
When you photograph a person who is 3 Y,
to 25 feet from the camera , look through the
viewfinder and move the focus slide so that
your subject's head just fills the ZOOMING
CIRCLE.
This sets the lens for a sharp picture
of that person. See the examples on the next
page.
The zooming circle is designed to set the
focus correctly for average adult head size
(approximately 9 inches from chin to top of
head). When photographing babies or young
children , use the distance scale or focus
symbols.
NOTE:
After you have used the zooming
circle to focus accurately for taking a picture
of a person, you can often achieve more
pleasing composition by shifting the camera
slightly
so that your subject doesn 't appear
right in the c enter of your picture . See the
examples on page 19.
