Exomple A: For o foctor of l1lz times iurn the operture ring to the lefi by holf o divisionin the direciion of the orrow. For o foctor of 3 times move it by one-ond-o-holfdivisions, for o foctor of 4 times by two divisions, ond for o focfor of 5 timesby fwo-ond-o-holf divisions. In every cose you therefore odiust the operturesettino occordinq to the filter foctor required.lf hoiever the dperture-speed combinotion hos reoched the limit of f12.8 on theoperture scole, you hoveto odjust the shutier speed occording to the requiredfilter foctor, while lurning the operture ring.

Ayertwe and Depth of rietd
The depth of field covers thot port of the subiect oreo in front of, ond behind,the focused distonce which oppeors occepiobly shorp in the piciure. The
extent of this shorp zone is by no meons constont: it increoses ihe more you
stop down the lens, ond decreoses the lorger ihe lens operture. In short:
lorge operlures (e. g. f 14) yield limited depth of field;
Smqll operlures (e. g. f/11) yield greater depth of field.
The ovoiloble depth of field zone is eosily determined. After you hove setthe lens fo the correct subiect distonce, look ot the depth of field scole (11).
This corries two series of operture numbers orronged symmetricolly to iheleft ond right of the I index. The depth of field then extends from the
distonce morking opposite one of the left-hond operfure figures to the distoncemorked opposite the corresponding right-hond operture figure (see the illu-sirofion of zone focusing on poge 15).
