4. Make fine adjustments with the Diopter Adjustment Ring.
5. When the adjustment is correctly set, note the setting on the Diopter Adjustment Ring for future

Focusing
The camera comes with a bright, rangefinder-spot focusing screen, which features a center, split-image rangefinder
spot.
While focusing, when the split-image combines into one, the subject is in sharp focus.
The microprism ring around the split-image also facilitates focusing. The microprisms only disappear when the
subject is in focus.
The outer ground-glass area of the screen can also be used for focusing.
