DEPTH-OF-FIELD INDICATORS
Depth of field (i.e., the zone of acceptable image focus) can be checked by reading the
color-coded depth-of-field indicators ® engraved on the lens barrel. The pairs of color-
ed lines on either side of the white distance scale index line correspond to f/numbers of
the same color on the aperture scale ®. You can also observe the depth of field
through the viewfinder by simply pressing the depth-of-field preview button on the cam-
era body.
INFRARED PHOTOGRAPHY
In infrared photography, the plane of sharpest focus is slightly more distant than the
one produced by visible light and seen through the viewfinder. To compensate for the
shift in focus, the lens has a curved red line on the lens barrel. After focusing the image
sharply through the viewfinder, check the focused distance. Then turn the focusing/
zooming ring to the left until the red line lines up with the prefocused distance.
