Now you can read off any combination of s h u t t e r - s p e e d - a p e r t u r (ec ) a n d t r a n s m i t b o t h t o t h e setting rings on the lens barrel.
Turn focusing (1) until the double outlines fuse into one image. Now the camera is set for the correct distance.
i+:E Of course, you can also use the footage scale or the red snapshot markings for focusing: O ( 4 1 1 2f e e t ) = P o r t r a i t s , V ( 1 1 f e e t ) = G r o u P , O (33 feet or more) : landscapes.

The Shutter release Press quickly and smoothly - do not jerk, this may otherwise result in blurred pictures.
Aperture and Depth of Field The depth of field is that zone of the picture which is sufficiently and sharply rendered' in front, as well as behind the focused distance. lt is taken from the distance in feet opposite the selected aperture on the depth of field scale (2) to the distance setting opposite the same aperturevalue on the other side of the A mark. Please remember: When using a large aperture (2.8or 4) you will get a short depth of field. When using a smaller aperture(11 or 16) you will get a large depth of field.
