Film
Plane
Indicator
@
The
film plane indicator (
-E>-
)
is
engraved
in
white
on
the top deck
just behind the shutter speed dial. It indicates the exact position
of the film plane inside the camera. Whenever it becomes
necessary to measure the exact distance between the subject
and. film plane, such
as
in
macrophotography, use the film plane
indicator. The distance between the film plane and the lens
mounting flange is exactly
46
.
5mm
.
Infrared
Focusing
Index
The red dot beside the focusing index
on
most lenses
is
the
infrared focusing index. When shooting with black-and-white
(but not color) infrared film,
it
is
necessary to refocus the lens to
compensate for the fact that infrared light rays focus at a point
slightly
in
front of visible light.
In
infrared photography, use of the
R60
filter
is
required. At first,
focus
on
your subject through the viewfinder by rotating the lens
focusing ring
@ without the filter
in
place. Then look at the lens
and take note of the focused distance. Reset the focusing ring
so that the desired distance
is
aligned with the
red
dot. Finally
take pictures with the filter attached.
Note: Automatic focusing is impossible
in
black-and-white infrared
photography.
