Here we can see that the 10 meter focus setting is
in fact the hyper focal distance for an aperture of
f/8 which gives us the maximum depth- of-field
possible from that lens, extending from half that
distance (5 meters) to infinity.

Taking the picture
Poor first-time results are largely attributable to camera shake, so its very important to hold the camera steady
using both hands. You will probably find it most convenient to grip the camera firmly with your right hand and
fire the Shutter Release Button with your right fore-finger. This way your left hand can easily turn the Focusing
Ring and give extra support at the same time. Always press the Shutter Release Button downwards smoothly
and firmly-- NEVER jab at it.
Note the extra support the left hand gives and the "correct" finger position for smooth release of
shutter.
For each Successive Exposure. . . just move the Transport Lever until fully wound and you're ready for your
next shot. If lighting conditions have not changed it is only necessary to frame the subject, focus and fire the
shutter. If taking a photograph in a slightly different direction or if the sun clouds over, take a further meter
reading and make any adjustments to camera and lens controls that might become necessary before firing the
shutter.
Note: Keep an eye on the Frame Counter
(5).
When this registers a figure indicating that the entire length of
film has been exposed, or if the Film Transport Lever cannot be turned, it is time to rewind the film into its
cassette ready for processing. DO NOT try to get an extra exposure -- if the Transport Lever is wound forcibly
the film may be damaged and disengage from the cassette making it impossible to rewind.
