• Nikon filters can be divided into three types: screw-in, rear-interchange and slip-in.
With the F6, the filter factor need not be considered except when using the R60,
which requires exposure compensation to +1 EV.
Note that when special filters available from manufacturers other than Nikon are
used, autofocus or the electronic rangefinder may not operate properly.
• Use circular-polarizing filter C-PL or C-PLII instead of polarizing filter Polar. The
polarizing filter cannot be used with the F6.
• Use L37C or NC filter when using the filter to protect the lens.
• Moiré may occur when shooting a subject against bright light or if a bright light
source is in the frame. In this case, remove the filter before shooting.
• Effect of Matrix metering may not be obtained with filters that require
compensation other than 1; use of Center-Weighted metering is recommended. For
details, see the instruction manual of the filter.
