a
Depth-of-Field Preview Button
The depth of field is the zone of acceptable focus in front of and behind the subject. You 
can preview this zone using the Depth-of-Field Preview button.
The Depth-of-Field Preview button will not work properly if there is no PC Card inserted.
In Aperture-Priority Auto or 
Manual Exposure mode, press the 
Depth-of-field Preview button to 
stop the lens down to the aperture 
that was set with the Sub-Command 
Dial.
In Programmed Auto or Shutter-
Priority Auto Exposure mode, the 
lens will be stopped down to the 
automatically set aperture. When 
you press the Depth of Field 
Preview button, the viewed image 
becomes progressively darker as the 
aperture gets smaller. Those 
portions of the image that appear in 
focus when the button is pressed are 
within the depth of field.
Be aware of the following when 
using the Depth of Field Preview 
button:
✔ When using lenses with a meter 
coupler, it is not possible to 
attain correct exposure because 
exposure must be determined by 
full-aperture metering.
✔ Do not use the Spot Metering 
system when using the Depth-
of-Field Preview button.
✔ During preview, the aperture 
cannot be adjusted and 
autofocus is not possible.
