Using the Camera

Set  the  Speed  Dial  [1  ]  appropriately  according  to  the
subject.  The  dial  is  marked  in  figures  that  represent
fractions of a second-i.e. "60" is 1/60th second. It may be
turned in  either direction  but not between "500" and "B"
and must not be between marked speeds.
Initially we suggest that outdoors the speed set should not
be less than 1/125th sec.

Focusing.  Look through  the Viewfinder  [27] and  roughly
decide  what  you  wish  to  take  remembering  you  are
actually  looking  through  the  lens.  Focus  by  turning  the
Focusing Ring [11] clockwise for close and anti-clockwise
for far distance until the subject is sharp and clear on the
large viewing screen.

For critical focusing using the inner of the two rings in the
center and adjust until the image is clear and undistorted. 
Since you are viewing and focusing through the actual lens
that  takes  the  finished  picture  you  can  feel  safe  in  the
knowledge  that  there  will  be  no  parallax  problems  (no
more cut-off heads in close-up
portraits and the like). There's a built-in safety margin of
course, in common with  many other modern  single  lens
reflex  cameras,  the  viewfinder  showing  an  overall  area
somewhat  smaller  than  the  total  film  area.  this  ensures
that everything you see in the viewfinder appears in the
finished  picture  despite  the  fact  that  slide  mounts  and
masks in printing equipment cover part of the film's image.
