Nikon 4799 F6 Instruction Manual - Page 169

• Filters • 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.
