The Electronic Range Finder

If the lens has a maximum aperture of fJ5.6

or faster, the viewfinder focus indicator can

be used to confirm whether the subject in

the selected focus point is in focus (the

focus point can be selected from any of the

51 focus points). After positioning the

subject in the selected focus point, press

the shutter-release button halfway and

rotate the lens focusing ring until the in-

focus indicator

is displayed. Note that

with the subjects listed on page 70, the in-

focus indicator may sometimes be

displayed when the subject is not in focus;

confirm focus in the viewfinder before

Focal Plane Position

To determine the distance between your subject

and the camera, measure from the focal plane

mark (-&-) on the camera body. The distance

between the lens mounting flange and the focal

plane is 46.5 mm (1.83 in.).
