NOTE:
Composing
frame
This camera's viewfinder frame shows approximately 89% of the image actually
exposed on the film frame. Therefore, the actual exposed frame is somewhat larger
than the image you see through the viewfinder. Note that the edges of a negative film
are partially cropped by most labs.
