Determining Exposure; Determining Exposure (With An External Exposure Meter) - Nikon PC Micro-Nikkor 85mm f/2.8D Gebrauchsanweisung

Determining exposure (using the camera's built-in exposure meter)
1
3
1. Set the camera's exposure mode to M (manual).
• Set the shift and tilt amount to 0 by rotating the shift and tilt knobs.
2. Press the aperture stop-down button to set the aperture to its maximum value. Set the
aperture ring to the maximum value (f/2.8) as well, and set the shutter speed for correct
exposure.
• When the aperture ring is set to a value other than the maximum (f/2.8), or the lens is shifted or
tilted, correct exposure metering and flash exposure metering cannot be conducted.
3. Set the desired aperture by rotating the aperture ring and shift the shutter speed by the same
number of steps.
4. Tilt or/and shift the lens, press the aperture stop-down button to stop-down aperture, and
then press the shutter release button.
• When the lens is shifted and tilted to its maximum value, exposure compensation of
approximately +1 step is required.
• Determining correct exposure with shift and tilt use requires experience. We recommend that
you take a series of test shots until you feel comfortable with the operation.
• Set the aperture with the lens' aperture ring even with a camera that you set aperture with
using the command dial. With a camera body with custom setting menu of "aperture setting
with lens' aperture ring", you do not need to set the option.
* If the exposure mode is set other than M, incorrect display may appear in the LCD panel and
viewfinder.

Determining exposure (with an external exposure meter)

1. Set the camera's exposure mode to M (manual).
2. Tilt or/and shift the lens.
3. Set the aperture ring to the desired aperture and read the aperture value displayed in the
camera's LCD panel. Then, input the aperture value to the external exposure meter to
determine exposure and press the shutter release button.
• When the lens is shifted and tilted to its maximum value, exposure compensation of
approximately +1 step is required.
• Stop-down aperture when shooting.
• Determining correct exposure with shift and tilt use requires experience. We recommend that
you take a series of test shots until you feel comfortable with the operation.
• When you are using a camera that does not have an LCD panel, read the aperture value on the
aperture ring, set the value to the external exposure meter, and then determine shutter speed
considering the effective aperture. The effective aperture becomes approximately 1 step
darker at closest focusing distance.
