eras.

 Focus

 Focus

This lens supports A-M mode selection. To choose the A-M mode, 
rotate the A-M mode ring while pressing the A-M mode ring re-
lease button. Select 

A

 for autofocus and 

M

 for manual focus. Au-

tofocus is not supported with close-up attachment lenses; select 

M

 when using a close-up attachment lens. Note that selecting 

M

 

when the lens is mounted on a Nikon N2020 (sold in the U. S. A. 
and Canada only) or F-501 may cause the camera to malfunction.

  The Focus Limit Switch

  The Focus Limit Switch

For faster focusing, slide the focus limit switch from 

FULL

 to 

LIMIT

. At 

short focus distances, selecting 

LIMIT

 will restrict focus to distances 

in the vicinity of 0.3 m to 0.219 m (1 ft. to 0.72 ft.), while selecting 

LIMIT

 at longer focus distances will restrict focus to positions be-

tween approximately 0.3 m (1 ft.) and ∞.

 Reproduction Ratio

 Reproduction Ratio

The reproduction ratio is the ratio of the apparent size of an object 
to its true size. If, for example, the image on the fi lm (image sensor) 
is one-fi fth of actual size, the reproduction ratio is 1: 5. If desired, 
the reproduction ratio can be selected using the reproduction ratio 
indicator. To shoot at a reproduction ratio of 1: 5, for example, se-
lect manual focus and rotate the focus ring until the focus distance 
mark aligns with the number “5” in the reproduction ratio indicator, 
then move the camera forward or back until the subject is in focus. 
The “Close-up Photography” table shows the reproduction ratios 
for diff erent focus distances.

 Focusing Screens

 Focusing Screens

The cameras below support a variety of focusing screens for use 
with diff erent lenses or in diff erent situations. The following screens 
are suited for use with this lens (when using B2/B3, E2/E3, or K2/K3

  Depth of Field

  Depth of Field

The depth-of-fi eld indicators on either side of the focus distance 
mark show the approximate depth of fi eld (or in other words, the 
extent of the area in which objects behind or in front of the subject 
appear to be in focus). Note that the indicators do not provide ac-
curate information at short focus distances; to determine depth of 
fi eld, refer to the depth of fi eld table. If the camera off ers depth-of-
fi eld preview (stop down), depth of fi eld can also be previewed in 
the viewfi nder.

dot on the lock lever aligns with the orange dot.

To release the lock, slide the lever in the opposite direction.

  Close ups and Reproduction Work

  Close ups and Reproduction Work

To prevent blur caused by camera shake, mount the camera on a 
tripod and use a cable release or remote cord. Close ups are gen-
erally associated with extremely shallow fi eld depths; for greater 
depths of fi eld, stop down the lens, choose longer exposure times, 
and position the camera so that the focal plane is parallel to the 
portion of the subject you wish to photograph. See the following 
table for information on metering exposure with the lens oriented 
normally (use stop-down metering when the lens reversed), but 
note that the exposure metering system for the F-401s/N4004s

 Exposure Compensation

 Exposure Compensation

Extending macro and other close-up lenses for higher reproduc-
tion ratios decreases the amount of light reaching the fi lm (or im-
age sensor), changing the eff ective f-number (see “Exposure Factor”, 
below). While through-the-lens (TTL) metering and fl ash control 
automatically compensate for this drop in brightness by adjusting 
exposure, fl ash level, and the exposure indicator according to the 
amount of light actually passing through the lens, exposure and 
fl ash levels set using external exposure meters must be adjusted 
manually with reference to the exposure factor. For example, if the 
shutter speed read from an external exposure meter is 1⁄8 s, the drop 
in illumination at a reproduction ratio of 1 : 1 can be compensated 
for by slowing shutter speed by one stop to ¼ s and increasing 
aperture by 2⁄3 EV, or by slowing shutter speed by two stops to ½ s 
and increasing aperture by 1⁄3 EV.

 Exposure Factor

 Exposure Factor

The lens f-number indicates the brightness of the subject at a focus 
distance of infi nity; higher reproduction ratios result in reduced im-
age brightness. The actual brightness is referred to as the “eff ective 
f-number”, and the amount that exposure compensation has to be 
raised to account for the loss in brightness as the “exposure factor”.
Although the eff ective aperture of this lens changes with focal 
length (reproduction ratio), the aperture shown in the camera 
viewfi nder or control panel is automatically adjusted to take this 
into account, with the result that the exposure factor can be ig-
nored if you reference these displays when setting aperture to the 
value reported by an external exposure meter. The aperture dials for 
cameras in the F-401 series also automatically adjust for the expo-
sure factor; manual compensation is not required. This adjustment 
is not however performed by the lens aperture ring or the aperture 
displays for the F5 and other cameras with a viewfi nder aperture 
window, and consequently you must take the exposure factor into 
account when using these displays. The following table shows the 
exposure factors and the amount by which aperture must be in-
creased at reproduction ratios above 1 : 10. Changes to aperture 
can be kept to a minimum by also adjusting shutter speed.

 Lens Care

 Lens Care

• Use a blower to remove dust and lint from the lens surfaces. To remove 

smudges and fi ngerprints, apply a small amount of ethanol or lens 
cleaner to a soft, clean cotton cloth or lens-cleaning tissue and clean 
from the center outwards using a circular motion, taking care not to 
leave smears or touch the glass with your fi ngers.

• The use of ether may cause smudges to develop on multi-coated lenses. 

Such smudges can be removed by cleaning the lens again using a cot-
ton cloth dampened with a small amount of ethanol.

• Never use organic solvents such as paint thinner or benzene to clean 

the lens.

• A lens hood or NC fi lter can be used to protect the front lens element.
• Attach the front and rear caps when the lens is not in use.
• Keep the lens dry. Rusting of the internal mechanism can cause irrepa-

rable damage.

• If the lens will not be used for an extended period, store it in a cool, dry 

location to prevent mold and rust. Do not store in direct sunlight or with 
naphtha or camphor moth balls.

• Leaving the lens in extremely hot locations could damage or warp parts 

made from reinforced plastic.
