User manual NIKON AF-2/AF-4 GELATINE FILTER HOLDER

[. . . ] When mounted on Nikon DX format cameras, the lens picture angle is equivalent to approximately 1. 5× the focal length in 35mm format. Before using this lens, please read these instructions and refer to your camera's User's Manual. This lens exhibits sharp rendering characteristics suited to close-up photography, reproduction work, snapshots, and general photography at all shooting distances. [. . . ] 2 Press and hold the lens release button on the camera while turning the lens clockwise. Set your camera's focus mode selector according to the chart below: For more information on camera focus modes, refer to your camera's User's Manual. 2 Autofocus is enabled, but autofocus operation can be overridden by rotating the separate focus ring 5 while pressing the shutter-release button halfway, or while pressing the AF-ON button on the camera body of cameras so equipped. If your camera supports depth-of-field preview, the effects of the aperture setting can be previewed in the viewfinder before shooting. This lens is equipped with the Internal Focusing (IF) system. The reproduction ratio is the relation between the size of the image recorded on the image sensor and the actual subject size. If, for example, the image on the image sensor is one-fifth the actual subject size, the reproduction ratio is 1:5. To photograph at a predetermined reproduction ratio, use the following procedure: 1 Manually turn the focus ring until the desired reproduction ratio scale number is aligned with the distance index line c. 2 Aim at the subject, then change your position, moving closer to or farther away from the subject, until the image in the viewfinder sharpens. This lens provides such exceptionally high image magnification that even the slightest movement during shooting can cause the image to blur. Therefore, the use of a tripod and a cable release or remote cord is highly recommended to prevent the effects of camera shake. The built-in flash cannot be used over distances of less than 0. * Vignetting is the darkening of the corners around the image that occurs when light emitted by the camera's built-in flash is obstructed by the lens barrel. Be sure that the lens hood mounting index (C) is aligned with the lens hood setting index (B) (3). If the lens hood is not correctly attached, vignetting may occur. The lens can be stored with the lens hood attached in the reverse position. Be careful not to allow the CPU contacts 9 to become dirty or damaged. If the lens mount rubber gasket 8 is damaged, be sure to visit the nearest Nikon-authorized service representative for repair. Clean lens surfaces with a blower brush. To remove dirt and smudges, use a soft, clean cotton cloth or lens tissue moistened with ethanol (alcohol) or lens cleaner. Wipe in a circular motion from the center to the outer edge, taking care not to leave traces or touch other parts of the lens. Never use organic solvent such as thinner or benzene to clean the lens, as this could cause damage, result in a fire, or cause health problems. [. . . ] When the lens is mounted on a camera, do not pick up or hold the camera and lens by the lens hood. When the lens will not be used for an extended period of time, store it in a cool, dry place to prevent mold and rust. Be sure to store the lens away from direct sunlight or chemicals such as camphor or naphthalene. Do not get water on the lens or drop it in water as this will cause it to rust and malfunction.
