Filters
• Nikon fi lters can be divided into three types: screw-in, drop-in, and rear-inter-
change. Use Nikon fi lters; other fi lters may interfere with au to fo cus or elec tron ic
range fi nd ing.
• The D200 can not be used with linear polarizing fi lters. Use the C-PL circular
polarizing fi lter instead.
• The NC and L37C fi lters are recommended for pro tect ing the lens.
• When using an R60 fi lter, set exposure compensation to +1.
• To prevent moiré, use of a fi lter is not recommended when the sub ject is
framed against a bright light, or when a bright light source is in the frame.
• Center-weighted metering is recommended with fi lters with exposure factors
(fi lter factors) over 1 × (Y48, O56, R60, X0, X1, C-PL, ND4S, ND8S, A2, A12, B2,
B8, B12).
