• Measure or estimate the
distance between camera
( q> mark) and subject.

this value.
Universal focusing
• Set the focusing ring to
5 m (15 ftl.
This method is based on the depth of field. The aperture should
be F5.6 or higher. Use this method when you have no time to

For clear focusing, focal lengths of up to 20 mm are desirable.
