Distance index
Innity compensation mark
To compensate for shifting of the innity focus
point that results from changes in temperature,
there is a margin at the innity (∞) position.
The innity position at normal temperature is the
point at which the vertical line of the distance
scale L mark is aligned with the distance index.
For accurate manual focusing of subjects at innity,
look through the viewnder or look at the magnied
image* on the LCD screen while rotating the
focusing ring.
* When using the lens with cameras capable of Live
View shooting, the innity position can be checked by
magnifying the image.
See “6. Lens Information Display” and switch
the display mode to “Focusing distance display
mode.”
The depth of eld is the distance in front of and
behind the plane of focus on the subject that
appears sharp. The depth of eld is indicated by
the area between the depth-of-eld scale lines
below the distance scale. The numbers on the
scale are F values.
 The depth-of-eld scale position changes due
to zooming. For f/8, when the display space
becomes narrow the display disappears and only
the scale which shows f/8 is displayed. When
moving closer to the telephoto end (300 mm), the
scale which shows f/8 also disappears.
 The depth-of-eld scale is only to serve as a
guide.
