Nikon 1799 Camera shake, Composing frame, Focus indications, Multi Power Battery Pack MB-40

Camera shake

Camera shake is likely to occur when the camera is not held steadily and/or when using a slow shutter speed. In general, you should set the shutter speed faster than ‘1/focal length of your lens sec. (Example: when using a 50mm lens, set the shutter speed faster than 1/50 sec.) Use of a tripod or VR lens is recommended for shooting at slower shutter speeds.

Composing frame

The F6’s viewfinder frame shows approximately 100% of the image actually exposed on the film frame. Please be aware that most processing labs partially crop the edges of film.
