To remind yourself of the film type and number of exposures on the roll of film in use, clip off the end of the film package and insert it into the memo holder. Of course, you can use the memo holder to store anything, including your name card.

Infrared compensation index ®

When you shoot infrared film , note that the plane of sharpest focus is slightly farther away than that in visible -light photo - graphy. As a rule of thumb, you can compensate for this shift in focus by referring to the infrared compensation index (in the form of either a dot or a line) near the focusing index on the lens barrel. (Some lenses, including the Reflex Nikkor, do not need compensation.)

After focusing the image sharply through the viewfinder, check the focused distance and turn the focusing ring to the left until the red infrared compensation index lines up with the prefocused distance. Be sure to shoot with appropriate filter, such as the R60, etc ., (In this photo, the subject-to-camera distance is set

at 00.).
