RANGE MEASUREMENT
Due to its large effective metering basis, the range finder on this
camera is very precise. The benefits of this are particularly notice-
able when using wide-angle lenses with their relatively high depth
of field.

The range finder metering field is visible as a bright, sharply defined
rectangle in the center of the viewfinder. The focus can be set
using either the superimposed image or split image method:
Superimposed image method
In a portrait, for example, aim the metering field at the eye and turn
the distance setting ring on the lens until the contours in the
metering field are brought into line. Then choose the subject detail.
