Prefocusing

The lens can also be prefocused using the distance scale engraved in both feet and meters on the lens barrel. Line up the bl ack indicator line on top of the lens opposite the camera-to-subject distance as measured or estimated. This technique is useful for candid shots of elusive ,subjects when time does not permit through-the-Iens focusing.

The mark on the top deck shows the exact position of the film plane . This is an aid when measuring the film-to-subject distance in close- ups and macrophotography .

Viewfinder frame coverage

The ratio of the area seen through the 'viewfinder to the actual area of the printed picture (view- finder frame coverage) is approx. 92%. In plan- ning a shot, you can include more than actually appears in the viewfinder.

Eyepiece correction lenses

Nikon eyepiece correction lenses are availab'le for near-sighted and far-sighted users to assist in sharper focusing. Refer to Page 57.
