V = GROUPS - subiect distonce ll feet
O = VIEWS - subiect distonce 33 feet
According to your subiect, sei the distonce scole simply fo one of these threesymbols. This gives you, omong others; the following depth of field zones:

Aperlure clnd Depth of Field
The depth of field zone depends on the operture setting, ond covers thot pori
of the subiect qreo in front of, ond behind, the focused distonce, which is
reproduced on ihe film with occeptoble shorpness. Note thot:
lorge operlures (e. g.t2.8) yield limited deprh of field;
smoll opertures (e. g. fil6) yield greoter depth of field.
Reoding off the depth of field - After seiting the distonce, hold ihe comero
in such o wqy thot you con see lhe operture figures on the depth of field
scole (2) oi lhe some time os the distonce scole (l). The depth of field zone
now extends from lhe distqnce figure obove ony given left-hond operture
number to the distonce figure obove the corresponding operture number to
the right of the A mork.
