a combined
viewfinder
and

made
specially
for it
by
the famous German firmZeiss
lkon.
As
you
look through
the window

you'll
see
two things:
First, the
viewf
inde r
-
a wh
ite
f ra
me line that
shows
how
much
of
the
scene
will be in the
picture.
Second, the range-
finder a bright
spot
in the center.
Hold
the
camera
horizontal
as shown.
Place
your
fore-
fingers

move
them allthe way to
your

Look
through the finder window
and aim the bright
spot in the
center
at a
subject
about
4
ft.
away.
You
should see
two images of
your
target in the bright
spot.
This
means the
camera is
not
focused
for that distance;
if
you
made
a
picture
now
it
would be
out of
focus
and f uzzy.
Push
the
No. 1
buttons back and forth untilthe
two
images
in the
bright
spot
become
one
sharp and
clear.
Now
the
camera is focused.
The trame automatically
adjusts
to
show
what will
be
in
the
picture.
Center
your
subject. Shoot.
For
vertical
pictures,
you
can focus
with the
camera hori-
zontal;
turn
it
to
vertical
position
to aim
and
shoot.
The
closest
focusing
distance
with the
rangefinder
is
about
3r/z
ft
lf
you
want to come closer
than
3r/zft,
you
must
use
either
