Page 77 highlights

Depth-of-Field Preview To check the depth of field for the aperture setting in the current exposure mode, hold down the depth-of-field preview button. The lens will be stopped down to the aperture selected by the camera in programmed-auto or shutter-priority auto exposure modes, or to the value selected by the user in aperture-priority auto or manual modes. The view through the viewfinder will give you an approximate idea of the depth of field that can be obtained at the current aperture. Focal Plane Position The position of the focal plane inside the camera is indicated by a mark on the camera body. The distance between the camera and the subject should be measured from this mark whenever distance is measured manually. The distance between the lens mounting flange and the focal plane is 46.5 mm (1.83˝). 64 Camera Settings: Depth-of-Field Preview/Focal Plane Position
