6. Checking the depth of field

	When a lens is focused on the subject,
	objects within a range in front of, and
	behind, the subject are also in focus.
	This range is referred to as the “depth of
	field”.The aperture remains fully open in
	the viewfinder, however when the aper-
	ture stop-down button is pressed the
	aperture is closed down to the previ-
	ously set value to allow checking of
Aperture stop-down button	the depth of field and the fuzziness
	of the background.

•The viewfinder becomes darker in accordance with the aperture value.

•Checking the exposure, and taking a photograph, with the aperture button pressed, will not result in the standard exposure.

7. Cable switch socket

Cable switch socket

Connect an LA type cable switch.

•When taking photographs using an LA type cable switch and shooting automatically without looking through the viewfinder, it may not be possible to achieve the proper exposure due to light entering through the eyepiece. In such cases, fit the viewfinder shade adapter to the viewfinder before tak- ing the photograph (page 14).

•Do not use a commercially available mechanical cable release with the cable switch socket as it may result in a fault.

<Depth of field>

Depth of field for a given lens varies as follows.

Depth of field increases as the aperture is closed down, and is reduced as the aperture is opened.

The depth of field is increased as the distance to the subject increases, and is reduced as the distance to the subject decreases.

Depth of field for a subject in focus is greater behind than in front of the subject. Depth of field is greater for lenses with short focal lengths, and shorter for lenses with long focal lengths.

8. Replacing the camera back

The camera back can be removed and replaced with the separately available D-11 data back (page 96). Remove the camera back by pressing down on the release pin.
