Focusing
Focusing takes place with the mirror swung into viewing position, i.e. with the shutter wound up. Rotate focusing ring
(22) on the lens mount until the image of the subject appears sharp on the field lens. Distance and definition may also
be set by means of the scale on the lens mount, in which case the field lens serves only for determining picture
composition. The depth of definition can be read in the focusing ring with the help of the depth of field scale (21).
Engraved on the left and right of the index mark on the depth of field scale are diaphragm numerals. At the f 8 setting
the depth of sharpness can be read from focusing ring above the true diaphragm numerals on the depth of field scale.
I.e.: Distance five meters (15 feet), diaphragm setting f 8, depth of sharpness from 3.5 meters to approximately 9.5
meters = 10 feet to approximately 32 feet. When using the sports finder, focusing has to be performed beforehand
either on the image field lens or by the scale of the focusing ring.
