FRAMING - continued
The PC-Nikkor's shift and rotation movements enable
you to create balanced composition without tilting
the camera,
so
that the film remains parallel to the
plane
of
the subject (Fig. 3).
To photograph a tall building, hold the camera
parallel to the plane of the building. Rotate the
lens
mount until the milled knob points downward, and
sight the subject
on
the focusing screen.
Now
turn the
milled knob until
all
of
the building
is
visible and
unwanted foreground area
is
trimmed away, checking
to
be
sure that the adjustment
is
within the permissi-
ble
shift area
(see
page
11).
If you must exceed the permissible shift adjustment
in
order to include
all
of the desired subject, try to
compose the picture
so
that any peripheral distortion
will
occur
in
unimportant areas, such
as
sea,
sky
or
earth.
Use
the same technique to
make adjustments for horizontal
and diagonal subjects.
