VIEWING
AND
FOCUSING
Grip
the
camera
with
both
hands and look through
the eyepiece.
The
finder image is visible only after
operating the
RAPID
WIND
LEVER.
With the right
thumb, swing
out
the lever
as
far as it will go; then
let it
return
to its original position.
Hold
the
camera
at
that distance from the eye which allows you to
see all
of
the
ground glass.
In
the center
of
the ground glass screen, you will
see in a bright circular area a smaller circle divided
by a horizontal line; this
is
the split-image range-
finder.
There
are two methods
of
focusing the picture
correctly - with the aid
of
the rangefinder
or
by
means
of
the ground glass.
The
nature
of
the subject
indicates largely which method
is
more suitable.
Subjects without
prominent
horizontal
or
verti-
cal lines are more easily focused
on
the ground
glass screen.
But
if the subject has such lines, the
rangefinder
is
probably more suitable
for
focusing.
