Filters

Nikon filters can be divided into four types: screw-in, drop-in, rear-interchange and slip-in type. As shown in the table on page 138, there are Nikon filters available for use with color and black-and-white film, color film only, black-and-white film only and for light with a wavelength in the 300nm to 950nm range. Nikon offers such a wide variety because photographic needs vary. For example, a color-temperature converting filter can balance the color temperature of the light and your film. Filters for black-and-white film alter contrasts and tones to suit your purposes. Polarizing filters reduce the amount of light reflected from non-metallic surfaces like glass and water. And ND (Neutral Density) filters limit the light entering the camera and are useful on bright, sunny days.

With the F5, filter factor need not be considered except for ND 400x and X1 filters and when Spot Metering is selected. Compensate exposure –2/3 EV when using ND 400x filter and +1 EV when using X1 filter.

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

Use circular-polarizing filter C-PL instead of polarizing filter Polar. Polarizing filter cannot be used with the F5.

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

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

Use Center-Weighted Metering when using a filter with filter factor such as ND 8x or ND 4x, or a filter for black-and-white film. The effect for the 3D Color Matrix Metering may not be fully obtained with these filters.
