Eyepiece correction lenses

Eyepiece correction lenses enable near- or far-sighted photographers to adjust the eyepiece diopter to suit their vision, and can be attached easily by inserting onto the viewfinder eyepiece. Nine optional eyepiece correction lenses provide viewfinder diopter settings of -S, -4, -3, -2, 0, +O.S, +1 , +2 and +3m-1(combined diopter with setting on camera body). We recommend that you actually look through the viewfinder with various correction lenses attached before making a purchase, since viewfinder diopter differs from one person to another. Use the optional eyepiece correction lens when you need eyepiece correction over - 1.S to +0.8m-1that can be adjusted using the NSS's diopter adjustment lever.

The rubber eyecup cannot be used together with the eyepiece correction lenses.

Lenses

A wide variety of AF lenses-wideangle, telephoto, zoom, Micro or DC (Defocus image Control)-is available for the NSS.

Filters

Nikon filters can be divided into three types: screw-in, drop-in and rear-interchange. With the NSS, the filter factor need not be considered except for the R60 filter. Compensate exposure +1 EV when using the R60 .

Note that when special filters available from manufacturers other than Nikon are used, autofocus or the electronic rangefinder may not operate properly.

Use circular-polarising filter C-PL instead of polarising filter Polar. The linear polarising filter cannot be used with the NSS.

Use NC filter when using the filter to protect the lens.

Moire may occur when shooting a subject against bright light or if a bright light source is in the frame. In this case, remove the filter before shooting .
