Zone focusing on the LC-A
One of the things that the LC-A is different from most of other cameras is the way that it focuses. The camera is manual focused so the photographer actually needs to choose the focusing distance before taking a picture. But instead of a smooth scroll focus ring, the LC-A has a small knob next to the lens with next to it are markings: 0.8, 1.5, 3.0, and infinity. These are distances in meters.
When you focus, you do not see the result through the viewfinder (as the camera is not a SLR.) You will need to guess how far your subject is from you.
This sounds like a total guess work for taking a picture, but once you know your camera and the relative distances of how far things are away from you this becomes second nature. And don't forget that Lomography is all about having fun an shooting picture without thinking. You might get great pictures even though the focus is a little off.
For those that are interested in learning more about getting things right with zone focusing, there are also a few tricks that people use to learn the different distances.
