FOCUSING

1. Split-image rangefinder

2. Microprism collar

3. Matte field

The FA-comes equipped with Type K2 focusing screen suitable for all-purpose photography. While looking through the viewfinder compose your photo and turn the focusing ring 45 of the lens until the subject looks clear. For precise pinpoint focusing on subjects with distant contours, use the central split- image rangefinder; turn the focusing ring until the split image becomes whole (A). For rapid focusing and for subjects with indistinct outlines, use the microprism collar; turn the focusing ring until the shimmering image becomes sharp (B) In close up

or microphotography, or when using telephoto lenses with max- imum apertures of approx f/4.5 or smaller, the split-image spot and microprism collar are likely to darken. Therefore, use the matte portion of the screen; turn the focusing ring until the image looks sharp (C).

•Finder coverage of the FA is approx 93%; therefore the actual image size will be slightly larger than the image seen in the viewfinder.
