13.Note: for general photography, use the enclosed Zoom lens
14.For general photography using the included zoom lens, switch the top Mode dial to AUTO:
15.When you return to iris photography, switch the top Mode dial back to A (A=Aperture Priority).
16.IMPORTANT: Adjust the Eyepiece Dioptric setting. (Initial Setup Only) This is a small slide switch to the right of the viewfinder that can go up or down through 6 positions (some cameras such as the D300, have a rotating wheel), and is designed to match the viewfinder optics to your vision. When this is set: if you see the subject in focus, the camera sees it in focus. If you normally wear corrective lenses, always wear them when taking a picture. To make this adjustment for your eye:
1.move the switch to one end of the range
2.look through the viewfinder at a bright surface (such as a white wall) that is in the distance (this white surface should appear blurry)
3.while viewing through the viewfinder, move the switch up or down through the range of 6 positions until you can see the black bracket marks in the viewfinder with maximum clarity and focus
4.note the optimal position of this switch for your vision, and always use this setting. Once you set it for your eye’s vision, you do not need to change it. If someone else uses the camera, they need to find the correct setting for their vision (and when you resume using the camera, you need to return this switch to the setting you found for your vision).
