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,
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.
