STOP DOWN / DEPTH-OF-FIELD PREVIEW
Stop Down functionality
The Aperture normally stops down only during the exposure. In
all other situations the Aperture is completely open.
The Viewnder and the Touch Display will, as a result, show a
narrow depth-of-eld regardless of the current Aperture setting.
How to preview the depth-of-eld
A visual depth-of-eld preview check can be made by following
these instructions.
1 Press the STOP DOWN button (A).
2 Hold the button (A) pressed down.
3 The lens is stopped down to the current Aperture setting.
4 A depth-of-eld preview is displayed in the Viewnder and on
the Touch Display screen, as long as the STOP DOWN button
(A) is completely pressed down.
5 Verify the depth-of-eld optically in the Viewnder or on the
Touch Display screen.
6 Release the STOP DOWN button (A) to open up the Aperture
fully again.
Note!
Depth-of-eld is not absolute. Perception of it depends on
several factors and so it should be seen only as a rough guide.
