The short focal length 35mm lenses on
your camera give your pictures an ex-
iremely  large range oT sharp focus
(that's the distance from the nearest to
the farthest object from your camera
that  will  be sharn). Decide whether
your picture is a close-up. a grouP,,or
l scene. l\lake the setling on vour dis-
lance indicator nnd thafs  it   .   No
exact measuring needed. Don't worry
about accurate focusing because set-
ting the lens in  this rvay gives very
sharp pictures; see page 24.
  When making  flash exposures, use
the distance scale on the  right  lens
mount, becnuse the distance from the
flash lamp to the subject is impoltant
 to obtain-the proper exposure. See the
 guide on the Kodak Flasholder.

                          measures the range of sharp focus. On
