Focusing. Look through
the Viewfinder [27] and
roughly decide what you
wish to take
remembering you are
actually looking through
the lens. Focus by
turning the Focusing
Ring [11] clockwise for
close and anti-clockwise
for far distance until the
subject is sharp and
clear on the large
viewing screen. For
critical focusing use the
inner of the two rings in
the centre and adjust
until the image is clear
and undistorted.
Since you are viewing
and focusing through
the actual lens that takes
the finished picture you
can feel safe in the
knowledge that there
will be no parallax
problems [no more
cut-off heads in close-up
portraits and the like).
There's a built-in safety
margin of course* in
common with many
other modem single lens
reflex cameras, the
viewfinder showing an
overall area somewhat
smaller than the total
film area This ensures
that everything you see
in the viewfinder
appears in the finished
picture despite the fact
that slide mounts and
masks in printing equips
ment actually cover part
of the film's image.
