Infrared
light with wavelengths
beyond
800
nm are
re-
fracted by
the
lens to an
image plane further
away
from
the
lens than
the
image plane
for visible light.When
pho-
tographing
with
IR light you
have
to
compensate
for this
difference
by setting
the
focusing distance
at the
red IR
index to the
right of the common
index line.
Proceed as
follows:
1. Focus as usual
on the
focusing screen.
2.
Mark or
memorise the distance
on the
focusing scale
opposite
the common
index
line.
3. Rotate the
focusing
ring to set
this distance
opposite
the
IR
index.
