such as rendering a certain range in sharp focus
or emphasizing a subject against an out-of-focus
background. In this case, set the desired f.
number on the aperture ring, then use the
match-needle system to set the shutter speed
for proper exposure at the setting. Small
f-numbers yield a relatively shallow field of
sharp focus, as in example D at right; while
large f-numbers give greater depth of field, as in
Example E. To judge depth of sharp focus, use
the depth-of-field scale (seep. 31) or stop-down
button (p. 32).
No matter how the camera is used, it is
important to support it (see p. 21) and release
the shutter properly (p. 33). In accordance with
the above principles, the match-needle indica-

tion may of course be adjusted (as indicated
on p. 25) or exposure set manually with or
without reference to a separate meter.
