4, FIXED FOCUS
   When taking snap shots, it  is convenient to take
  at Fixed Focus without setting Distance Scale each
   time.
    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.

              FIELD SCALE5. DEPTH OF
   When reducing lens opening, depth of field increases
  both in forward and in backward 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 mark.
