Mamiya 6 Mode D'Emploi

The depth-of-field varies according to the

aperture. The smaller the aperture (f/8, f/11,
f/16...) the greater the depth-of-field; the

larger the aperture (f/8, f/5....) the smaller

the depth-of-field. To take pictures which

are sharp from foreground to infinity or
when taking snap shots, the focusing range

is extended or depth increased by using a
smaller aperture. When the subject is to
stand out, with the background out of focus,
a larger aperture is appropirate.

The depth-of-field scale on the lens indi-

cates depth-of-field in terms of the distance
between subjects on both sides of the

scale. For example, when a 75mm lens is
stopped down to f/8 and f/16, respectively,
everything photographed within the ranges
shown in the photo at the left will be sharp.

Six types of diopter correcting lenses are
available for near/far-sighted people. Mount

as indicated above.

Powers available are: +3, +2. +1 -1, -2

and -3.

See page 30 for depth-of-field tables for all three

lenses.
