Film Plane Indicator
This mark is engraved on the top of the
camera between the film rewind crank and
the battery check button, just to the left of
the pentaprism, to indicate the exact position
of the film plane. The distance scale on the
lens shows subject distances measured from
the film plane indicator. This mark is not used
in general photography, but in close-ups and
macrophotography it is often used to obtain
the exact subject distance.
