FOCUSING B • C

The Zoom-Nikkor 35-70mm f/3.5 focuses from infinity down to 0.7m (2.5 ft). Note that the longer the focal length, the larger the image and the shallower the depth of field. To focus, rotate the focusing ring until the image on the viewfinder screen appears sharp and crisp. (You don't have to refocus every time you change focal lengths.) You can prefocus by using the distance scale, which is engraved in both meters and feet on the focusing ring. Make sure you align for distance index (black dot) with the camera-to-subject distance as measured or estimated.

Macro Focusing

By setting the zooming ring to 70mm (engraved in orange) and pulling back the macro focusing button (so that the arrow on the button is directly above the orange M on the zooming ring), you can focus continuously from infinity (») down to 0.35m (1.2 ft). At this distance, the reproduction ratio is 1/4X. The macro focusing range is indicated by an orange line on the focusing ring. With the macro focusing button engaged, the zooming ring is locked at the 70mm setting.

To return the lens to normal zoom operation, turn the focusing ring until the orange line is no longer opposite the white distance index and push the macro focusing button forward. Now, you can rotate the zooming ring as usual.
