Focusing, zooming, and depth of field

Before focusing, rotate
the zoom ring 4 to
adjust the focal length
until the desired
composition is framed in
the viewfinder.
If your camera has a
depth of field preview (stop-down) button or lever,
depth of field can be previewed through the camera
viewfinder.
