* This camera is equipped with a view-frame for 28mm, 35mm, 50mm,75mm,90mm, and 135mm lenses. * The view frame changes depending on what lens is used (Fig. 9). Make sure the subject is within the view frame and then take the picture. * The view frame for each lens automatically adjusts parallax (differences in viewing angle) during photography according to the range at which the image is brought into focus. * The lightmeter range for each lens is almost the same as the diagram in Fig. 9 (blue dotted line).

Cautionsin regard to the shutter diaphragm
S The shutter diaphragm is a prccision-made product. Do not touch it with your fingers and do not allow the tip of the film to touch it or to strike againstit. Never operatethe shutter when the t'ilm tip is on the shutter diaphragm. $Wtren using a blower tb cle-anthe camera, do not apply the air too strongly. This presentsthe possibility of bending or otherwise damaging the shutter diaphragm. Do not use blowers fitted with compressedair tanks.

13.Depth of Field

When focusing on a certain subject, there is an area both in front and behind the subjectthat can be held in focus.This rangeis called the.depth of field. When the range is wide it is a deep defth of field andwhen the^range narrow it is a shallow depth of field. Depth of is field has the followins characteristics ( l)The higher the F v:aluethe deeper the depth of field, the lower the F value the shallower the depth of field. (2)At the same F value, the shorter the focirl length of the lens. the deeper.the depthof field. and likewise. the lonfer the fbcal length of the lens. the shallower the depth of field. (3)The farther the distance from the subject. the deeperthe depth of field and the shorter the distance from the^subiect.ihe shallower the depth of field. (4)From.the p-ositionat which the subject is in focus, the depth of fleld is shallower to the rear and deeper to the front. * Fig.27 is a test photograph showing-how depth offield works.

An offset in lbcus in infiared photography must be compensated for becausethe positions at which the subie'ctwill be in fbcus under in.frrrred light and under visible light are different. N/ Moye the distance at which the subiect is in focus to the red line (inl'rared line) nexr to lhe index. If the focus results are 5 meters,for example, move the number "5" on the lens distancescaleto the infrared line index oosition. * Infrared photography requires the use of infrared film and filters. For more detailed information, see the instructions that accompany infrared film. * The 90mm/F2.8 KM rnount type M-Hexanon lens has no infiared index becauseof the subject depth of field eraduations. For more detailed information, see the instructiois that come with the 90mm/F2.8 lens.
15. Exposurecompensationphotography
lncorrect exposuremay result when you snap the shutter in taking pictures against backlight or extreme difl'erences brightnesi in between the main subject and the background.At those times, compensatefor exposure.There are two methods of exposure compensation(seeFigs. 30 and 3l).

Depth of Field Checking

Therange. for depth of field can be read by the graduations for d.epthof field that are on every lens. The figureslowed on both sides.of the lens range/F index are the depthbf field graduations. The depth of field graduationsare written in relation-io the ranse graduationsso that the depth range can generally be read from t[e distancegraduations.
How to read depth of field graduations tFis.28)

Say, lbr example, we are taking pictures with a 50mm/F2 lens and
In both focus priority AE photography and manual exposure photography, the standard values set for exposure compensation are shown in the finder. V Tum exposurecompensationdial @to set the index to the desired exposurevalue. The exposurevalues can be set in stcps of onethird each from -2EV to +2EV.
1) Using the exposurecompensationdial (Fig.30)
* However, settings for'ISO6 film sensitivity are only from 0 to +2EV and for ISO12 sensitivity settingsfrom -1 to +2EV. V If the exposure compensation dial is set to another value than "0", the +/- indicator inside the finder will light to show that exposureis being compensated. ;t Ordinarily, the exposure composition dial is set to "0". After taking pictures, don't forget to return the exposure compensation dial to "0". * Compensation in focus priority AE photography controls shutter speeo. * When a bright background occupies most of the picture such as when a picture is taken against backlight, under a bright sky or near a window, the people who are subjectswill be underexposed and may appearas dark silhouettes.For pictures such as these, increase the amount of exposure by placing compensation between +1/3 to +2EV. You can also use this feature in taking pictureswhere you want to intentionally increaseexposuresuch as in giving a bright finish to the entire picture or the dark sections of a building with strong contrastsbetween dark and light. J< When you have a dark background such as people posed against a black backdrop or when they are illuminated by a spotlight, the people will be overexposedand appear whitish. For these pictures, set the exposurecompensationto -ll3 to -2EV to reduce You can use this feature in taking pictures where you exposure. exposuresuch as in giving a dark want to intentionally decrease finish to the entire picture or creating a sccneof the background with sky emphasized. * When it is difficult to determine what the exposure should be, we recommend taking a number of pictures with the exposure quantity changed in one-third steps negative and positive for each one.
Z First turn the shutter dial @ to set the exposure mode on'AEL". Then look through the finder, get the main subject inside the focus frame and adiust the focus. Z Pressing the shutter button down halfway makes the camera record the exposure and places it in AE lock state.Now, with the shutter button still pressed halfway down, decide the desired picture composition, then take the picture by gently pushing the shutterbutbn all the way down. * The shutter will now remain at the recorded exposure no matter how the background changes. * The camera stays in AE lock state as long as the shutter button is pressedhalfway down. Releasingthe finger holding the button halfway down clears the AE lock. ;t When consecutivepictures are taken, and the AE lock is preset to a certain subject brightness, pictures can be taken with the same exposurewith no effect from changesin background. * If the alarm for being outside the exposurelinked range is given when an attempt is made to AE-lock the camera, it cannot be AE-locked. * This camera records shutter speed for AE lock mode. When the focus is changed after AE-locking, the exposure quantity will cnange.

1 6.B u l b p hotography(Fi s.32)
Use this mode when taking pictures at shutter speedslonger than 1 second,such as of nighttime scenesor of the nighttime sky. * To prevent the camera from shaking, mount it on a tripod or on some other stable stand and use a commercially availablecable release. V Turn shutter dial @ and set the exposure mode to "B". Set the F value, focus and take the picture. The shutter will be open and the film exoosedas lons as the shutter button is held down. * When the shutter dial iJ locked, press and hold the shutter dial unlock button @ and turn the shutter dial.
2) Using the AE lock (Fig.31)
This is the method of exposure compensation used during focus priority AE photography (Fig. 23). Use this when you want to fix exposuresuch as when taking consecutivepictures at fixed exposure of moving subjectsor subjectsagainstbacklight.
