User manual NIKON AF-S 600MM F/4D IF-ED II

[. . . ] This lens is not compatible when used with a Nikon F3AF camera with the AF Finder DX-1 attached. Set your camera's focus mode selector according to this chart: Autofocus is provided, but you can manually override the focus by operating the separate manual focus ring while lightly depressing the shutter release button or the AF start (AF-ON) button on the camera body of cameras so equipped. To cancel manual override, remove your finger from the shutter release button or the AF start button. Getting good results with autofocus Refer to "Notes on using wide or super-wide angle AF Nikkor lenses" (p. [. . . ] ) In the M/A (autofocus with manual override) mode, first turn the zoom ring until the desired composition is framed in the viewfindr before autofocusing. In the M (manual focus) mode, focusing is possible at any focal length, but the longer the focal length, the larger the image and the shallower the depth of field, making focusing easier. If your camera has a depth of field preview (stop-down) button or lever, depth of field can be observed while looking through the camera viewfinder. It is possible to determine depth of field by using the scale provided on page 57. 1 Cut out the scales along the lines indicated. 2 Place scale 2 over scale 1 so the top edge of scale 2 is aligned with the focal length in use and the distance is aligned with the central indicator line of scale 1. 3 Read the scale 2 numbers that correspond to the aperture in use. For example, if the lens is prefocused at 1m with the focal length at 28mm and the aperture at f/22, the depth of field will be approx. For programmed auto or shutter-priority auto exposure shooting, use the minimum aperture lock lever to lock the lens aperture at f/22. A lens hood also helps protect the front of the lens. When storing the lens in the lens case, attach both front and rear caps. When the lens will not be used for a long time, store it in a cool, dry place to prevent mold. Do not get water on the lens or drop it in water as this will cause it to rust and malfunction. Reinforced plastic is used for some parts of the lens. Lens hoods HN-29 and HN-34 can be used only at a focal length of 35mm. 8 13 elements in 10 groups (2 glass mold aspherical, 1 compound aspherical and 2 ED lens elements) 104°­ 62° (91°­ 52° with IX240 system cameras, 79°­ 44° with Nikon D2H, D1-Series, D100 and D70 Digital Cameras) 17, 20, 24, 28, 35mm Output to camera body Manually via separate zoom ring Nikon Internal Focusing (IF) system (utilizing an internal Silent Wave Motor); autofocus with manual override or manually via separate focus ring Graduated in meters and feet from 0. 8 ­ f/22 on both standard and aperture-direct-readout scales Provided Fully automatic Via full-aperture method with AI cameras or cameras with CPU interface system; via stop-down method for other cameras.
