4. FIXEDFOCUS
   When  taking  snap shots,   it  is convenient  to
  take  at Fixed  Fccus without   setting  Distance
  Scale each  tirne.
    Set  Distance  Scale  at 24  ft    ( Red Figure)
  and Lens Opening  at  8    ( Red Figure),   then
  any objects between 11 ft. and  Inf.  will  be  in
  sharp  focus.
5. DEPTHOF FIELDSCALE
   When  reducing  lens opening, depth of  field
  increases both  in  forward  and   in  bacl<ward
  direction from  the distance on  which   lens  is
  focused. The  depth  of  field  for any given  lens
  opening and distance  setting  can be  correctly
  ascertained from  the depth  of  field  scale.  It  is
  represented by  the  distance  settings  opposite
  the two diaphragm   setting  figures on right and
   left side of the diaphragm  setting  marl<.
