Depending on how far away your

dial. You'll notice that each f/stop
(from f/2 to f/22) has its own color-

of distances at which you can shoot.
For example, if you are using ASA/
ISO too film with the zoom head set
at N (35mm) and want to shoot sub­

can select f/8, f/4, f/2.8 or f/2. At f/4,
the automatic shooting range indi­
cates you can shoot any subject
between 1.4 and 8.0 meters (4.6 and
26 ft.) away.
