of Field, and the smaller the aperture, the longer the Depth of Field. The value on the Depth
of Field scale indicate the aperture number and on the focusing knob designate the distance in
metre. After focusing the distancc' value pointed by the same two aperture number indicates the
Depth of Field in the condition of that aperture number. For instance, if the camera is focused
