3.23 STOP DOWN BUTTON
STOP DOWN / DEPTH-OF-FIELD PREVIEW
Stop Down functionality
The Aperture normally stops down only during the exposure. In
all other situations the Aperture is completely open.
The Viewfinder and the Touch Display will, as a result, show a
narrow depth-of-field regardless of the current Aperture setting.
How to preview the depth-of-field
A visual depth-of-field preview check can be made by following
these instructions.
1 Press the STOP DOWN button (A).
2 Hold the button (A) pressed down.
3 The lens is stopped down to the current Aperture setting.
4 A depth-of-field preview is displayed in the Viewfinder and on
the Touch Display screen, as long as the STOP DOWN button
(A) is completely pressed down.
5 Verify the depth-of-field optically in the Viewfinder or on the
Touch Display screen.
6 Release the STOP DOWN button (A) to open up the Aperture
fully again.
Note!
Depth-of-field is not absolute. Perception of it depends on
several factors and so it should be seen only as a rough guide.
