1. The camera should be positioned on the palm of your left hand so that you can use your fingers
to turn the Focusing Ring of the lens easily.
2. The index finger of your right hand should rest lightly on the Shutter Release Button, while
your right hand holds the camera body lightly.
3. Your right arm should be in a comfortable position.
4. Keep your left arm resting lightly against your body, and the camera should just touch your
forehead when you look through the viewfinder.
* It is important to shoot with the correct body posture, to
avoid blurred or tilted shots.
13. FOCUSING
Look through the viewfinder to compose your picture and focus by turning the Focusing Ring. You can
focus either by using the center Split-image Spot or the Micro-prism Image Band that surrounds the
center circle.
Split-image Focusing
When the split image in the Split-image Spot forms a single image, the subject is in focus (Fig. 34).
When not in focus, the top and bottom halves of your subject will not be lined up properly -- they will be
"split" a part. This type of focusing is especially helpful if you have a straight vertical line to focus upon.
Mircoprism Focusing
When the subject loses its "shimmering" effect and becomes very sharp, the subject is in focus (Fig. 35).
