Nikon Zoom-Nikkor 100-300mm f/5.6 instruction manual Macro Focusing, Recommended Focusing Screens

MACRO FOCUSING D

Although normal focusing is possible from infinity (=•>) to 2m (7ft), you can focus even closer at the 100mm focal length setting (and at this setting only). To get into the macro mode, just slide the focusing/zooming ring to the 100mm focal length scale which is colored orange like the macro range line ©. At this setting, you can rotate the focusing/zooming ring beyond the distance scale 2m (7ft) and can close-focus continu- ously anywhere from 2m (7ft) down to 0.71m (2.3ft). In the area indicated by the or- ange macro range line, zooming cannot be done. Although this lens has macro focusing capability, the use of a Micro-Nikkor lens is recommended for document copying or slide duplication where critical sharpness is required.

RECOMMENDED FOCUSING SCREENS

Various interchangeable focusing screens are available for F3- and F2-series cameras to suit any type of lens or picture-taking situation.

o : Excellent focusing

The split-image rangefinder, microprism or cross-hair area is dim. Focus on the sur- rounding matte area.

o : Acceptable focusing

Slight vignetting (or moire phenomenon, in the case of the microprism) affects the screen image. The image on the film, however, shows no trace of this.
