The film plane indicator (
--e-
)
is
engraved
on
the top
deck just behind the audio warning
lever. It indicates
the exact position of the
film plane inside the
camera
and
is
used to measure the exact distance between
the subject and
film plane, such as
in
macrophotog-
raphy. The distance between the film plane and lens
mounting flange
is
exactly 46.5 mm.
