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.
