Refimprove date December 2009 Scalefocus or zone focus is a type of focusing system used by many inexpensive camera s from the 1940s and 1950s. These cameras have an adjustable focus, but lack a focusing aid such as a rangefinder . It is necessary to determine the distance to the subject and set the focus using a scale printed on the lens. If you are good at estimating distances, or have a tape measure at hand, you can get precise, sharp focus with one of these cameras. Technique File Lens aperture side.jpg thumb Zone focusing fixes a depth of field , which can be read off of the DOF scale on the focus ring, as shown here DOF is 1 meter to 2 meters, with aperture f 11 and focal plane at 1.4 meters. Today the term zone focus is used, particularly in North America, to the technique of setting a fixed focal distance turning off autofocus , and often fixed aperture, hence fixing the depth of field , and then taking photographs at that distance the DOF can be read off of the DOF scale on the focus ring , hence the term zone . This is particularly used in street photography , to allow rapid and candid shooting from the hip shooting without composing in the viewfinder and avoiding autofocus lag. ref http www.markushartel.com tutorials camera related zone focusing.html Zone Focusing , Markus Hartel, January 22, 2006 ref ref http photo.net street documentary photography forum 007j4H Zone Focus , photo.net, March 2004 ref See also Depth of field Zone focusing Depth of field Zone focusing References Reflist DEFAULTSORT ScaleFocus Category Photography equipment Category Photographic techniques Photo stub ru ... more details

unreferenced date May 2007 In the field of photography , a manual focus camera is one in which the operator has to adjust the Focal length focus of the photographic lens lens by hand. Before the advent of autofocus , all cameras had manually adjusted focusing thus, the term is a retronym . The focus itself may be adjusted in a variety of ways. Larger view camera s and the like slide the lens closer or further from the film plane on rails on smaller cameras, a focus ring on the lens is often rotated to move the lens elements by means of a helical screw. Other systems include levers on the lens or on the camera body. There are a number of ways in which focus may be determined. Simplest is simply using a distance scale and measuring or estimating distance to the subject. Other methods include the rangefinder , which uses triangulation to determine the distance. On other cameras, the photographer examines the focus directly by means of a focusing screen . On the view camera, this ground glass is placed where the film will ultimately go, and is replaced by a sheet of film once focus is correct. Twin lens reflex cameras use two lenses that are mechanically linked, one for focusing and the other to take the photograph. Single lens reflex cameras, meanwhile, use the same objective lens for both purposes, with a mirror to direct the light to either the focusing screen or the film. Focusing screens, in their simplest form, consist of a matte glass or plastic surface on which the image can be focused. Other devices, such as split image prisms or microprisms, can help determine focus. Category Photographic techniques ja ... more details
