In the Macro position,
the
coincidence
rangefinder
is also used for
focusing.
The
actual
setting
is done
by means
of
the zoom
knob, and
must
be
done
accurately
because of the
shallow
depth
of
field
(see last-but-one

of
the
Instructions).

Special effects and transitions
The Bolex
Macrozoom®
lens
allows
you to
make
special
effects,
height-
ening the
interest of you
r
film:
you
will be able,
for
example,
to
film
slides
or
titles that you
wish to include in
your film
(see
"Bolex
Macro
Set"
un-
der "Accessories
available
separate-
ly", page 18);
you
will also be able
to create smooth and pleasing tran-
sitions from
one scene
to
the
next.
By zooming from a
long
shot into the
macro
range,
a pleasinq and effec-
tive
focus transition
from
a distant to
a
close subject is
obtained.
Vice
ver-
sa,
a continuous
focus
transition
from
a close to a
distant
subject is
obtain-
ed by turning
the
zoom knob out of
the macro
range.
A scene can be ended by turning the
zoom knob into the macro position
(after
pressing the macro
button),
thereby throwing the subject com-
pletely
out
of
focus.
The next
scene
can be "focused
in"
by turning
the
zoom knob out of the macro position
until the subject is in sharp
focus.
When the camera is not
used over
extended
periods, remove the
bat-
teries
from
the
battery
container
and
store
them in
a
cool
place.
Damage
to
the
camera through leaking
bat-
teries
is
not
covered by the guarantee.

cartridge
compartment
with a
