Operating Instructions

Lens set at f/16
At wide apertures, the depth-of-field is very shallow with the main subject in focus.
But when the lens is stopped down to f/16, most objects from near to far are in sharp focus.
Meter coupling lever
Push the meter coupling lever release button and lock the meter coupling lever in the "up" position before
mounting a non-AI Nikkor lens. Then perform stopped-down metering in the following manner:
For non-AI Nikkor lenses with automatic diaphragms
On AUTO: Push in and hold the depth-of-field preview button while you trip the shutter.
Caution: If the depth-of-field preview button is not depressed all the way, the mirror may remain in the "up"
position.
On MANUAL: Select a shutter speed. Then hold in the preview button and turn the aperture ring until the "- +"
symbol appears in the finder. Release the preview button and take the shot.
For non-AI lenses or accessories without automatic diaphragms
On AUTO: Stop the lens down manually until the desired shutter speed appears in the finder. Then take the
picture.
