How
sonar focusing
lets
you
"preview"
the
picture
To
familiarize yourself with sonar
focusing and "previewing," stand
a few feet from your subject. Then
look through the viewfinder. Notice
that the scene appears unsharp.
Lightly press the shutter button part-
way and hold it there. You'll hear a
brief whirring sound as the lens
brings your subject into sharp view.
(If film
is
ejected, you pressed too
hard and
accidentally
took a picture.)
12
What you now see
in
the viewfinder
is
a "preview"
of
what the finished
picture will look like. If it isn't exactly
what you want, release the button,
change position or camera angle,
then
lightly press again for another
"preview." When you'
re
ready to
shoot, hold steady and squeeze
the button all the way.
"Previewing" helps you to plan a
picture carefully. For
quick
snap-
shots, however, there's no need
to
hesitate. Just aim and shoot as de-
scribed on the opposite page.
