Nikon PC-E NIKKOR 24mm f-3.5D ED:  When using other Nikon cameras Determining exposure (with an external exposure meter) 7. The shift/tilt function  Important

 When using other Nikon cameras

a

Set the shift and tilt amount to 0 by rotating the shift and tilt knobs. (Fig. 2)

b

Set the camera’s exposure mode to M.

c

Press the aperture stop-down button to fully open the aperture,

En

set the aperture ring to “3.5” (maximum aperture), and set the

shutter speed for correct exposure.

d

Set the desired aperture by rotating the aperture ring and shift

the shutter speed by the same number of changed steps.

• Setting the aperture ring to minimum aperture lock (L) fixes the

aperture at f/32 (minimum aperture).

• Set the aperture with the lens’ aperture ring even on a camera

that requires aperture to be set via its command dial. With a

camera that has the custom setting menu “aperture setting

with lens’ aperture ring,” this setting is not required.

Determining exposure (with an external exposure meter)

a

Set the shift and tilt amount to 0 by rotating the shift and tilt knobs. (Fig. 2)

b

Set the camera’s exposure mode to M.

c

Set the desired aperture via the lens’ aperture ring or the

camera’s command dial and read the aperture value displayed

in the camera’s LCD panel or selected aperture ring value. Input

the aperture value to the external exposure meter to determine

exposure, and set the shutter speed.

• When using a camera other than the D3 or D300, set the

aperture with the lens’ aperture ring even on a camera that

requires aperture to be set via its command dial. With a camera

that has the custom setting menu “aperture setting with lens’

aperture ring,” this setting is not required.

7. The shift/tilt function

 Important

• Use of a tripod is recommended for correct shooting.

• Turning each knob too tightly can cause damage.

• Use of tilt/shift function can cause some vignetting. (Vignetting is

the darkening of the corners around the image.) To counteract

this, close the aperture (choose a larger f-number), or

compensate the exposure before shooting.
