Depth of Focus ScaleThe

-depthof fo".m depends on the apertrre -and distance setting. It indicates the

area wfiich will be in sharp focus. Smaller f apertures result -in a greater depth of

field. Toascertain the depth of field you first oT all confirm the aperture you

.havechosen and then you look-for the same aperture on each side of the red triar_rgle onthe depth of focus scale. This will thel show you, if read in relation to the distancescale, the depth of focus of that particular aperiure. For inst_ance lf you_ are workingon f.'8 at l0'feet, you will be in Tocus approx. between 7 and 15 feet. If -you workon f.16 at 10 feet,'you will be in focus lpprox. between 6 and 30 feet. If, however,you work on f2.8 at 10 feet, your depth of focus would be every small approx. 9 to 11 feet.
