IQ Compose and focus on the subject.
The FE2 is provided with the Type K2 focusing screen
as standard for all-purpose photography. While looking through
the viewfinder, compose your photo with the main subject in the
center to assure correct exposure. Then turn the focusing ring
of the lens
&
until the subject looks clear. For precise pinpoint
focusing on subjects with distinct 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).
When taking close-ups or macrophotography or shooting with
telephoto lenses of maximum 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).

Notes:
1) The shutter speed scale in the viewfinder is color coded: black numbers
indicate reciprocal shutter speeds: i.e. 60 means 1/60 sec., while red
shows actual shutter speeds.
2) The finder coverage of the FE2 is approx. 93
%.
The actual image size
will be slightly larger than the image seen in the viewfinder.
