Look through the viewfinder and turn the focusing ring in
either direction until your subject appears sharpest. The
split image will be vertically aligned in the central spot of
the Focusing Screen or a shimmering effect of the micro-
prism wi II disappear when critical focusing has been
achieved.
NOTE: The OM-2 viewfinder takes in 97% of the actual pic-
ture area for added convenience, when composing your pic -
tures.
You can determine the - distance between the subject and
the film plane by reading the distance scale on the focusing
ring after you achieve critical focusing. The actual distance
is indicated opposite the red central index mark on the lens
mount ring; the white scale indicates this distance in meters
and the orange scale indicates this distance in feet_
