Depth-of-Field Preview/Film Plane Indicator

Depress the depth-of-field preview button to confirm the depth of field through the viewfinder (see page 68).

Pressing the depth-of-field button stops the lens down to the aperture controlled in Programmed Auto or Shutter-Priority Auto exposure mode, and down to the aperture selected in Aperture-Priority Auto or Manual exposure mode. By looking through the viewfinder, the approximate depth of field with the given aperture can be confirmed.

The film plane indicator shows the position of the film plane inside the camera body.

The film plane indicator shows the standard line of the shooting distance and indicates the position of the film 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 film plane is 46.5mm.
