"Zone Minder," built into the viewfinder, shows at a glance which of the three
zones
is set on the focusing scale. Set the zone focus by rotating the LENS MOUNT
until the proper diamond "click-stops" opposite the focus INDEX. For example,
the illustration shows the diamond
mark for the GROUP zone set at the index
mark.
The range
of sharpness, which permits these zone settings, depends on the lens
opening, as indicated
by the red exposure meter NEEDLE, located in the curved
window on the top
of the shutter housing. The higher the / /number, the greater
the range
of sharpness. Zone settings will give acceptably sharp pictures at all
three zones with //numbers
f/5.6 or greater.
Careful Scale Focus -(I) When lighting conditions are such that an / /number
less than / /5.6
(1 /4 or / /2.8) is indicated in the curved window, setting the actual
camera-to-subject distance on the focusing scale will give sharper pictures.
(2) With all flash pictures, setting the actual camera-to-subject distance on the
focusing scale
is necessary for proper focus and essential for proper exposure.
In both these cases, estimate the camera-to-subject distance carefully and
rotate the lens mount until the figure representing the camera-to-subject distance
is opposite the focus index. 11
