Pages 38 to 43 provide explanations of how to use and set the camera’s focusing functions,
along with various related topics. The diagram below is a page map to this section. Refer to the
pages indicated for details.
Depress the depth-of-field check button to confirm the depth of field through the viewfinder.
Pressing the depth-of-field check button stops
the lens down to the aperture controlled in “P”
Auto-Multi Progam or “S” Shutter-Priority Auto
exposure mode, and down to the aperture
selected in “A” Aperture-Priority Auto or “M”
Manual exposure mode. By looking through the
viewfinder, the approximate depth of field with
the given aperture can be confirmed.
The CCD plane indicator shows the position of the CCD plane inside the camera body.
The CCD plane indicator shows the standard line
of the shooting distance and indicates the
position of the CCD plane inside the camera
body. Use this indicator when actually measuring
camera-to-subject distance, e.g. in close-up
photography. The exact distance from the lens
mounting flange to the CCD plane is 46.5 mm.
