focusing
To use
the Memar
as
a
fixed
focus
camera,
set
the
focusing
ring
at either
10 or
30
feet
(the
numbers
in
red)'
Then
set
the diaphragm
ring
at
the red
dot on
the
diaphragm
aperture
(f
stop)
scale
and the
shutter
at
1/50th of
a
sec-
ond.
With
the
camera
focused
at
10 feet,
everything
from 7
to
15
feet will
be in
focus:
at
30 feet,
everYthing
from
15
feet to
infinity
will be
in
focus.
Sharpest
pictures
of
any specific
sub-
ject
will
result, of
course,
if
the lens
is
focused
at
the exact
camera-to-subject
distance.
the
diaphragm
The
diaphragm,
or
Iens oPening
as it
is often
called,
governs
the
amount
ot
Iisht
which
passes
through
the
lens
while
the shutter
is open.
The
diaphragm
opening
is set
by
turning
the
wide
dia-
phragm
ring
which
has
an index
mark
on
top.
Turn
this
ring so
the
index
mark
coincides
exactly
with
the line
opposite
the f
number on
the
diaphragm
aperture
scale.
As it
moves
from
the lower
num-
ber
(f,23.5)
to
the higher
(f/16),
the
size
of
the opening
decreases
and
the dia-
phragm
is
said to be
"stopped
down".
Remember,
the lower
the
number,
the
Iarger
the
aperture
and the
greater
the
amount
of light
admitted.
To observe
the action
of the diaphragm,
set
the
shutter
at B, open
the back
of
the camera
and
press
and
hold down
the
shutter
release button.
Looking
into the
back
of the
camera
toward
light, revolve
the diaphra8m
ring back
and
forth. No-
tice
how the size
of the
opening
varies.
