COMPOSITION

  

Your Yashica 635 is a twin-lens reflex 
camera. It features a pair of perfectly 
matched lenses, enabling you to focus 
and compose your pictures most 
effectively through the viewing lens 
positioned directly above the taking 
lens.  

1. Lift and open the Focusing Hood, as 
illustrated.  

2. Turn the Focusing Knob until the

 

image of your subject on the ground-
glass viewing screen appears sharply 
defined. The clear focusing spot at the 
center of the screen will enable you to 
secure critical focus.

The viewing screen shows the exact 
field covered by the taking lens. 
Therefore, compose your picture 
within the

 

viewing frame.
