How to hold the camera The camera must be held correctly for best results, since even the slightest camera shake at the moment of exposure will result in an appreciable loss of sharpness. Photos show the best way to hold the camera for rocksteady picture taking. Wrap the fingers of the right hand around the camera body so that the index finger rest[...]

Turn the focusing ring until the two halves of the rangefinder image coincide to form a single, sharp image. Focusing can also be done by setting the distance scale on the lens barrel for the lensto-subject distance as measured or estimated. This is especially useful when the camera must be prefocused to capture an elusive subject. Focusing is alwa[...]

Changing the viewfinder Five interchangeable viewfinders are available for the Nikon F: Eye-Level, Waist-Level, 6X Focusing, Action and Photomic FTN. The Photomic FTN finder incorporates the centerweighted thru-the-lens metering system and couples to shutter speed and aperture controls. With the exception of the Photomic FTN, all viewfinders are in[...]

Looking up the mirror The reflex mirror can be locked in the "up" position out of the optical path for use with the Fisheye-Nikkor 6mm f/5.6 and the OP Fisheye-Nikkor 10mm f/5.6, whose rear elements protrude into the camera body and interfere with the movement of the mirror. Locking up is also necessary for shooting with the Nikon Motor D[...]

Flash synchronization The Nikon F is designed to synchronize correctly at all shutter speeds (except T) with various types of flashbulbs and with electronic flash at speeds up to 1/60 second. To set the camera for flash, lift up and turn the milled synchro-selector ring around the shutter speed dial until the desired marking appears in the selector[...]

Using self-timer The self-timer trips the shutter at any time delay trom 3 to 10 seconds. It has white indicator dots for 3-, 6- and ]O-second delay and can be set either before or after the shutter is wound. To set the self-timer, turn the lever on the front of the camera body downward for the desired delay. The timer is actuated by its own releas[...]

Infrared picture-taking In infrared photography, the plane of sharpest image is slightly more distant than the one produced by visible light and seen by the naked eye through the viewfinder. To compensate for the shTh in focus, Nikkor lenses have a red dot or line engraved on the lens barrel near the color-coded depth-of-field index scale on top of[...]

Accessories-Lens Hoods The use of a lens hood is recommended at all times to prevent extraneous light from striking the lens surface and causing flare or ghost, and as an added measure of protection against damage to the lens. Nikon lens hoods come in four types depending on the lens: Screw-In, Snap-On, Slip-On and Builtln. They are calculated prec[...]

Accessories-Filters Nikon filters are made of optical glass, ground and polished so that both surfaces are optically flat and parallel. Nikkor lenses and Nikon filters are made for each other. For best results, use Nikon filters on Nikkor lenses. Nikon filters are available in both screw-in and series mounts, depending on the type of lens. Since fi[...]

Note: If you wish to leave a filter on the lens to protect it against accidental damage, the use of the L37 filter is recommended. If the lens is pointed toward the sun or toward a very bright light at ni2rkt, it is best to remove any filter, including the L37, since light reflected from the filter surface may form ghost images on the film. Accesso[...]
