The larger the f-stop number
(f16, f11 etc.) the smaller the
lens opening and the smaller
the amount of light entering the
lens.
As the lens opening is moved
from f16 to f11 the amount of
light entering the lens is
doubled; as the lens opening is
moved from f2.0 to f2.8 the
amount of entering light is cut
in half. You may set F-stop
Ring (1) in between two f-stop
numbers if necessary.
VIEWING AND FOCUSING
Look into Viewfinder Eyepiece (0) to compose your picture and focus the
lens. Rotate Focusing Ring (L) until subject becomes clear in the micro-
prism image, the center circle area
(Fig. 14). When your subject appears sharp in the micro-prism image,
your picture has been focused. To take the picture hold the camera as
steady as you can and press Shutter Release Button (D) slowly and
smoothly. Since you are viewing through the lens there is no parallax
problem ... what you are viewing in the viewfinder will appear in your
picture. Even when you shoot close-ups there is no danger of accidental
cropping as may occur when the viewfinder is above or to one side of the
lens.
