Focusing The Lens; Photographic Area Covered - Mamiya 6 User Manual

21
When the lens has been focused, the double-image
superimposing rangefinder produces two superim-
posed images within the square 0 of the viewfinder.
How To:
1. Position the subject within the central square 0
of the viewfinder. As on the top left the subject
will appear as a double image.
2. Rotate the focusing ring until the two images
converge and are superimposed as on the
figure on the left. The lens is now focused.
The two images can also be superimposed by
using the boundary line between the viewfinder and
the square or split image.
Adjust the images until the boundary lines converge.

area covered is indicated by the visible

the bright frame 0. 83% of the field of
view is visible at r;, and 100% is visible at
the minimum focusing distance. The
appropriate bright frame area is auto-
matically selected upon lens interchange.
