Nikon TT9J02(E3) manual Focusing, zooming, and depth of field, Setting the aperture

Focusing, zooming, and depth of field

Before focusing, rotate the zoom ring to adjust the focal length until the desired composition is framed. If your camera has a depth-of-field preview (stopdown) button or lever, depth of field can be previewed through the camera viewfinder.

•This lens is equipped with the Internal Focusing (IF) system. As the shooting distance decreases, the focal length also decreases.

•The distance scale does not indicate the precise distance between the subject and the camera. Values are approximate and should be used only as a general guide. When shooting distant landscapes, depth of field may influence operation and the subject may appear in focus at a position that is closer than infinity.

•For more information, see p. 146.

Setting the aperture

Use the camera to adjust the aperture setting.

The built-in flash and vignetting

•The built-in flash cannot be used over distances of less than 0.6 m (2.0 ft.).

•To prevent vignetting, do not use the lens hood.

•Vignetting is the darkening of the corners around the image that occurs when the light emitted by the flash is obstructed by the lens barrel.
