Focusing Infrared index distance index

1 Focus the subject, then set the lens focus mode switch to MF (or M).

• Let’s say you will focus at 3 m.

2Use the infrared index to adjust the distance.

•Turn the focusing ring so that the focusing distance is aligned with the infrared index. If it is 3 m, align the “3” with the infrared index.

•Use a lens which provides an infrared index. With L-series lenses which do not have an infrared index, there is no need to compensate for infrared film.

•It is recommended that you also take back-up pictures at slightly nearer and farther distances centering on the infrared index’s distance.

•Also refer to the infrared film’s instructions.

•Using a red filter enhances the infrared film’s effects.

•The focusing distance need not be adjusted with color infrared film.
