Horizontal Split Image Spot; Microprism Collar And Matte Screen - Contax AX Instruction Manual

Set the focusing mode selector lever to "MF". The
movable body is set at the base position.
Thus, you can focus the lens manually by turning its
distance ring.
This camera is normally equipped with a focusing screen
FW-1 (horizontal split-image/microprism type). Focusing
can be done on a horizontal split-image spot in the
center, on the microprism collar around it, and on the
surrounding matte area.
. Interchangeable
focusing screens are also available.
For details, refer to page 232.
<Horizontal Split-image Spot>

ring until the upper and lower segments of the image
coincide. When the subject is not focused on, the two
segments will not coincide.
<Microprism
Collar and Matte Screen>
Turn the distance ring untilthe image on the microprism
collar or matte screen appears sharp. lf the subject is not
in sharp focus, the image on the microprism collar will
appear grainy and that on the matte screen blurred.
r When using a slow lens or taking close-ups with a high
magnification, focusing may be difficult. In such cases,
use the matte screen to focus.
