Nikon Zoom-Nikkor 100-300mm f/5.6 Focal length 100mm to 300mm Maximum aperture f/5.6, Supplied

DEPTH-OF-FIELD INDICATORS

Depth of field (i.e., the zone of acceptable image focus) can be checked by reading the color-coded depth-of-field indicators ® engraved on the lens barrel. The pairs of color- ed lines on either side of the white distance scale index line correspond to f/numbers of the same color on the aperture scale ®. You can also observe the depth of field through the viewfinder by simply pressing the depth-of-field preview button on the cam- era body.

INFRARED PHOTOGRAPHY

In infrared photography, the plane of sharpest focus is slightly more distant than the one produced by visible light and seen through the viewfinder. To compensate for the shift in focus, the lens has a curved red line on the lens barrel. After focusing the image sharply through the viewfinder, check the focused distance. Then turn the focusing/ zooming ring to the left until the red line lines up with the prefocused distance.
