Kodak DCS600 manual Depth-of-Field Preview Button

Depth-of-Field Preview Button

The depth of field is the zone of acceptable focus in front of and behind the subject. You can preview this zone using the Depth-of-Field Preview button.

The Depth-of-Field Preview button will not work properly if there is no PC Card inserted.

In Aperture-Priority Auto or Manual Exposure mode, press the Depth-of-field Preview button to stop the lens down to the aperture that was set with the Sub-Command Dial.

In Programmed Auto or Shutter- Priority Auto Exposure mode, the lens will be stopped down to the automatically set aperture. When you press the Depth of Field Preview button, the viewed image becomes progressively darker as the aperture gets smaller. Those portions of the image that appear in focus when the button is pressed are within the depth of field.

Be aware of the following when using the Depth of Field Preview button:

✔ When using lenses with a meter coupler, it is not possible to attain correct exposure because exposure must be determined by full-aperture metering.

✔ Do not use the Spot Metering system when using the Depth- of-Field Preview button.

✔ During preview, the aperture cannot be adjusted and autofocus is not possible.
