aSet the aperture to its maximum by pressing the aperture stop- down button, and focus by rotating the focus ring.

bBefore shooting, press the aperture stop-down button again to stop-down the aperture.

•When using the Nikon D3 or D300 camera, you can take a picture without operating the aperture stop-down button (the aperture can be stopped down to a selected aperture automatically by pressing the shutter release button without pressing the aperture stop-down button). Alternatively, the aperture stop-down button can be used.

•While using tilting and/or shifting, the camera’s electronic range finder cannot be used to confirm correct focusing. Focus should be confirmed by checking the image in the camera's viewfinder.

•When you change the degree of tilt and/or shift after focusing the subject will become out of focus.

Infrared compensation

For photography using infrared film, attach a red (R60) filter to the lens and compensate the focus manually.

First, focus on the subject manually. Rotate the focus ring to realign the desired distance scale number (“0.5 m” in fig. 11) to (“8” on the depth of field scale in fig. 11) to compensate the focus. Attach an R60 filter for infrared photography.
