Focusing
Look through the viewfinder and put the subject in focus by rotating the focusing ring of
the lens.
Tips
•To focus using the split-image rangefinder, turn the focusing ring of the lens until the
upper and lower images coincide perfectly to form a single unbroken image.
•To focus using the microprism grid or matte, turn the focusing ring so that the fuzzy
image becomes sharp.
• Get your main subject in focus.
...
If you want to photograph a flower, focus on a stamen or pistil, and for an animal
or person, focus on the eyes.
