aSafety Precautions
a Safety Precautions•Do not look at the sun or a bright light source
through the lens or camera. Doing so could result
in loss of vision. Looking at the sun directly through
the lens is especially hazardous.
• Whether it is attached to the camera or not, do
not leave the lens under the sun without the
lens cap attached. This is to prevent the lens from
concentrating the sun’s rays, which could cause a
fire.
Handling Cautions• If the lens is taken from a cold environment into

5. Depth-of-Field Scale
The depth of field is the distance in front of and
behind the plane of focus on the subject that
appears sharp. The depth of field is indicated by
the area between the depth-of-field scale lines
below the distance scale. Numbers in the scale
are in F values, and for example, if the shooting
distance is 5m and the aperture is f/11, the
sharp area will extend from about 4m to 7m.
The depth-of-field scale is an approximate
indicator.
