The thin black ring around the front of the lens barrel is the film speed setting, followed by the shutter speed ring (speeds to 1/500), then the aperture ring, and finally the focus ring - scaled in feet (in orange) and metres (in white) at the back. The focus ring is operated by a lever protruding below the lens barrel.
