Depth of field is the rangebetween the nearestan d farthestdistanceswhich ar e in focus at a given lens aperture.lf you want to know ho w great the depth of f ield is at a certainaperture, focus on a subiect and look at the depthof-field guideon the lens. In the photograph below, the distancescale s setat 3 meters . . . the lens s focused on a subject 3 meters away.The calibrations on each side of the distance ndex correspondto the diaphragm setting and indicate th e range of in-focusdistance for different lens apertures.Forexample, i t a lensopeningof f /8 is to be used, he rangeon the distancescalering coveredwithin the figure 8 on th edepth-of-field guide indicates he area n focus at that lensopening.You wi l l note f rom the depth-of- f ie ldguide n thephotograph that the range rom approximately 2.3 to 4.5 m is infocus. Note that as the lens apertureschange, he effectivedepth of field also changes.For the depths of field at differentaperturesan d distances, efer to the next page.

The l ight meter bui l t into your K1000 correct lyreads the averageof the light ref ected fromth e entire sceneas seen hrough the viewfinder- with a lit t le extra importance, or weight,given to what is in the center. Sometimes,however, there is a great difference between thelight reflected from the background andthe light reflected from the subiect. In sucha case, o achievea really good photo, youmust compensate or the difference by opening orclosing down the aperture 1 or 2 steps.

As a general rule, when the subject is darkerthan the background, yo u compensate byopening your aperture 1 or 2 steps further.For example: on a br ight day, when yoursubject has his back to the sun and you areshooting directly toward the sun . or whenyou are shooting a subject against snow orlight-colored sand . . . or when you arecopying a page of black letters on whitepaper, increase he size of the aperturesomewhat.When your subject is brighter than the back-ground - if he is standing n a spot l ight , forexample - you make th e aperture 1 or 2steps smaller to compensate.

Open-aperture SMC Pentax lenseshave adiaphragm coupling lever 6 on the back of th elens which locks into the camera body to permitopen-aperture metering. The super telephotos donot have a diaphragm coupler, so they must beused with the stopdown metering system.Use of the Auto-Extension Tube Se t K.permitsopen-aperture metering. lt can also be set tostop down the diaphragm automatical ly. Use ofother K Series accessories standard ExtensionTube Set K, Helicoid Extension Tube K, Auto-Bellows M an d Bellows Unit II I - requires stop-down metering. Wheneverany one of these is usedbetween the camera body and an SMC Pentaxlens, the stopdown metering system must beused.

The temperature rangeat which your camerawil l continue to f unction properly stretchesfrom 50"C to -2OoC. However, resistance ocold could be hampered by oil which hasbecome dirty. Therefore, if the camera s tooperate at ful l eff iciency in very coldcondit ions, it must be overhauledand alloi l must be replaced.Sudden changes n temperature wil l oftencausemoisture to condense nsideor outside.your cainera.This is a possiblesourceof rust,which may be extremely damaging o themechanism. Furthermore, if the cameragoesf rom a warm temperature to a sub-f eezingone, and if t iny drops of moisture freeze,further damagemay be done bY theirexpansion.

Thus, sudden emperature changes hould beavoided as much as possible.As a'guide,atemperature changeof lOoC should be allowedto take placegradually over a period of atleast30 minutes. lf this is not possible,keepingthe camera n its caseor bag wil l help somewhatin minimizing the effects of a rapid temperaturechange.Extremely low temperature reduces heefficiency of the battery. Therefore, the camerashould be protected against ow ternperature.Put the batteries nto the camera ight beforeshooting. For extremely low temperature, usenew batteries.

1 .Always keep the viewf nder eyepiece, ensandf i l ter asclean as possible.To remove loose dustand dirt, f irst use he blower and then the brushof a lensbrush. Do not try to wipe off granulardirt or dust - i t 's an excellent way of scratchingthe glass.Smudges, uch as fingerprints, should becareful ly wiped away with either a lens issueora clean,soft cloth. Clean,plain cottonhandkerchiefs that have already been washd afew times are particularly good for this.Breathing on the lensbefore wiping is effective;but be sure o wipe away all moisturecompletely.Commercial lens cleanersare also effective.2.Never ouch the mir ror or the shutter cur ta ins.Minor d i r t or spotson the mir ror wi l l not a f fectthe clar i ty of your p ictures.3.Take care no t to drop th e camera or knock itagainstanything solid. Accidents or roughhandling can easilydamage he internalmechanism,even hough externally nothingseems o have been hurt.4.Your camera is not waterproof . There are severalplaceswhere water can get insideand do agreat deal of damage.Take care to protect bothbody and lens rom rain or s plashingwater.

lf you.r camera should ge t wet, dry it offimmediately with a clean, soft cloth.Once a camera has become completely soaked,there is often nothing that can be done to makeit right again. However, n such a case, akeyour camera as soon as possible o anauthorized Asahi Pentax Service Center.5.Where to keep your camera while you arenot using it is an important point. Th e beststorage place is cool , drY, clean and well-ventilated. Becauseof the possible build-upof humidity, it is risky to store your camerain a cabinet or closet; lt 's also a good idea tokeep your camera in its bag or case while yo uare not using it .6.When mounting your camera on a tripod, besure the tripod screw is no longer than 5.5mm.This is the depth of the tripod screw hole onyour camera. lf you us e a longer screw, yo uwill probably puncture the bottom of thehole, after which the camera will no t functionproperfy.
