10. Slip-in filter holder (Fig. A, B)
Always use a filter. The slip-in filter holder is provided with a 52mm screw-in Nikon NC filter. Use
an L37C filter to cut ultraviolet rays and a slip-in circular polarizing filter C-PL1L* to cut unwanted
reflections from non-metallic surface such as glass or water.
1 Press down on the slip-in filter holder knob, and turn counterclockwise until the white line on the
knob is at a right angle to the axis of the lens.
2 Pull the slip-in holder out and screw in the filter into the holder.
En
• The slip-in filter holder can be attached either facing lens or camera side without having any effect
on your pictures.
* The focus point of the slip-in circular polarizing filter differs from that of a 52mm screw-in filter.
･ The distance scale is shifted from the correct position. The closest focused distance is
extended slightly.
･ The focus point differs as the focal length changes. Therefore, zoom the lens first, then use
autofocus or manual focus and shoot.
･ With Focus preset, the Memory set position may change slightly. First, focus on the subject,
then perform Memory set again.
11. Taking flash pictures with cameras having built-in flash
When using the following cameras, check the focal length and shooting distance before
taking flash pictures to prevent vignetting since the light emitted from the flash may be
obstructed by the lens barrel.
