how closely the focus distance matches
the distance to the subject in the focus
brackets. The white line indicates the
distance to the subject in the focus area
(in meters or feet according to the option
selected for D SCREEN SET-UP> FOCUS
SCALE UNITS in the setup menu), the
blue bar the depth of eld, or in other
words the distance in front of and behind
the subject that appears to be in focus.
