Turn the milled adjustment

(

first clockwise,
then counterclockwise, until
i mage is sharpest in the circular
microprism area.
FOCUSING
Zoom lens to telephoto position
(align figure 60 on zoom ring with
reference line). Turn focusing ring
until subject's image appears
sharp on milcroprism focusing
disk in viewfinder
(
Fig. 14
).
If the
microprism area is blurred (as in
Fig. 15
),
the image on the film
will be blurred, also.
The distance scale may also be
used for focusing. Line up with
the reference line the figure on
the focusing ring that corresponds
with the camera-to-subject dis-
tance in feet.
For example, if the camera-to-
subject distance is 5 feet, then
the figure 5 is lined up with the
reference line
(
Fig. 16
).
USING THE ZOOM LENS
The zoom lens does the work of
several separate lenses. It has an
8 to 1 focal length range and is
continuously adjustable from the
7.5mm wide-angle setting to the
60mm telephoto setting.
I mportant!
When the zoom
lens is in the long telephoto posi-
tion (40 to 60mm), the slightest
camera motion will result in a
jumpy screen image. To keep the
camera steady when the lens is
used in the 40 to 60mm telephoto
range, use a tripod, where feas-
ible, or steady camera by placing
elbows on a firm support.
