1.12mm-dia. central area

2.Split-image range- finder

3. Microprism color

4. Matte field

The N6000 viewfinder covers approx. 92% of the image area of the actual photograph so the actual picture comes out larger than the image in the viewfinder. Note that the picture comes out trimmed down in the case of mounted slides or service-size prints from negatives.

The type K focusing screen that comes with the N6000 has three focusing aids:

A.Split-image focusing

For precise, pinpoint focusing of subjects with distinct edges/contours, turn the focusing ring until the split-image becomes whole.

B.Microprism focusing

For rapid focusing and for subjects with indistinct outlines, turn focusing ring until the shimmering image becomes sharp.

C.Matte-field focusing

For close-up photography at high magnification, or when using a telephoto lens with a maximum aperture of approx. 1111 or smaller, the split-image may darken. Turn focusing ring until image on the matte field appears sharp.

When using a zoom lens:

For maximum focusing accuracy, focus at the lens' longest focal length setting. The shallow depth of field and large image scale at the longest focal length setting help ensure pinpoint focusing. Conversely, focusing at the shortest focal length setting and then zooming up to the longest focal length setting will magnify any slight imprecision in focusing and could result in unsharp pictures.
