COMPOSING ANO FOCUSING

you see it in the viewfinder. The composition can
be changed by zooming.
Focusing
To focus, look through the viewfinder while turn
ing the focusing ring. The viewfinder has a split-
image
rangefinder
focusing
aid
which
is
the
horizontal line in the center of the circle. When
out of focus, this rangefinder splits the subject
horizontally.
Turn
the
focusing
ring
until
the
divided
subject
merges
to
become
a
whole.
Focusing
should
be
performed
at
the
tele
photo end where
the subject is magnified for
more accurate focus. Then zoom back to wide
angle if you wish. The subject will remain in
focus while zooming. If focusing is done at the
wide-angle end you may find that you did not
focus perfectly when you zoom to telephoto.
The
closest
focusing
distance
is
normally
1.2
meters. The yellow line to the left of the 1.2 m in
dication on the focusing ring is for focusing in
macrocinematography.
