INFRARED PHOTOGRAPHY
The OLYMPUS OM System Lenses are provided
with an infrared index mark engraved in red on
the depth of field scale.
When shooting with infrared film, focus normally
on your subject without the red filter on and read
the subject distance on the distance scales. Then,
turn the focusing ring to the right until the dis-
tance reading is opposite the infrared index mark.
Your lens will then be in focus for average in-
frared photography. Shoot with the red filter on.
In the above picture, the red index is set at infinity.
CAUTION: Due to special light gathering require-
ments of infrared films, it is recommended that
you follow the film manufacturer's recommenda-
tions regarding exposure.

able with the Recordata Back 2, 3 and 250 Film
