Distance Scale • Depth-of-FieldDistance Scale Depth-of-FieldThe Distance Scale is used to determinethe film-plane-to-subject distance. The scaleitself is composed of two parts, the DistanceScale and Focal Length Scale.After focusing, the correct distance can bedetermined by locating the point at which thecurved line for the focal length in use inter-sects the Distance Scale.For example, if the 110 mm lens ismounted on the camera and focused asshown in the illustration, the subject is 1.5 m(5 ft) from the film plane.Depth-of-Field Preview1. Set the Aperture Ring to the desired f-stopand focus the lens.2. Depress the Depth-of-Field Preview Leverof the lens and you will be able to check thedepth-of-field directly on the focusing screen.30Using the Depth-of-Field Scale1. Check the camera-to-subject distance onthe Distance Scale.2. Rotate the Lens Distance Scale Knob untilthe previously noted camera-to-subjectdistance is aligned with the center index of theDepth-of-Field Scale.3. Locate the selected aperture on both sidesof the Depth-of-Field Scale.4. The figures of the Lens Distance Scale,appearing above the selected aperture,indicate the nearest and furthermost limits ofsharpness for that aperture.For example, when the 110mm lens isfocused at 3 m and stopped down to f /32,everything from approximately 2m to 10m willbe in focus.When desiring to know the depth-of-field infeet, rotate the Lens Distance Scale 180°, asone side is in feet and the other in meters.
