6. Notes on close-up photography and duplication work
Camera shake
The AF-S VR Micro-Nikkor 105mm f/2.8G IF-ED provides such exceptionally high
image magnification that even the slightest movement during shooting can cause the
image to blur. Be sure to mount the camera on a tripod and use a cable release or
remote cord to release the shutter.
Close working distance
At the high reproduction ratios used in close-up shooting, the depth of field is very
shallow. To ensure greater depth of field, stop down the lens, then carefully position
the camera to ensure the most important surface of the subject is in the same zone of
sharp focus.
Use manual focus when using the close-up lens.
7. Setting the aperture
Set the aperture on the camera body.
8. Using bayonet hood HB-38
Attaching the hood
Align the lens hood attachment index ( )
2 on
the hood (either one of the two indexes) with the
lens hood mounting index 4 on the lens, and turn
the lens hood 1 clockwise until it click stops to
secure.
Make sure that the lens hood mounting index
4
aligns with the lens hood setting index ( ) 3.
If the lens hood is not correctly attached,
vignetting can occur.
