The Focal Plane Mark and Flange-Back Distance
Focus distance is measured from the focal
plane mark (
E
) on the camera body, which
shows the position of the focal plane inside the
camera (
q
). Use this mark when measuring the
distance to your subject for manual focus or
macro photography. The distance between the
focal plane and the lens mounting flange is
known as the “flange-back distance” (
w
). On
this camera, the flange-back distance is 16 mm (0.63 in.).

Note that peaking highlights may not be
displayed if the camera is unable to detect
outlines. Check focus in the shooting display.
