If you use infrared film with an R2 or O2 filter, the point of focus differs from normal shooting (with visible light). This means the point of focus must be corrected.

*Infrared film cannot be used with

the MZ-S, MZ-60, and cam- eras since these cameras use infrared light to detect film transport operations.

When the subject is in focus in the view- finder, note the point of focus on the distance scale (shown in the left illustra- tion). Then turn the focusing ring so the respective point of focus on the distance scale is aligned with the infrared index mark, as shown in the right illustration.

*Before turning the focusing ring, set the focus mode to manual focus.

*To determine the proper exposure, refer to the film's instruction manual.
