FOCUSING
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
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
45
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
