- Page 12 FRAMING As long as the camera is held in a position parallel to the subject when shooting, it reproduces scenes more or less as the eye sees them spective distortion. However, shooting from this position often produces unbalanced composition, since the camera is usually used close to ground level. Much unwanted foreground is included in the lower half of the frame, while part of the main subject, for instance the top of a building, is excluded...
- Page 13 Inevitably, the camera must be tilted in order to include the top of the building and minimize the foreground (Fig. 2). But with the camera plane of the film is no longer parallel to the subject, and because the image size varies according to subject distance, the nearer parts of the subject are repro- duced on a scale larger than those farther away.
- Page 14 FRAMING - continued The PC-Nikkor's shift and rotation movements enable you to create balanced composition without tilting the camera, 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.
- Page 16 PANORAMAS The shift movement of the PC-Nikkor can also be used for making panoramic pictures by joining exposures. Its advan- tage over the normal lens mounted on panoramic equipment is that it enables you to maintain exactly the same film plane in both exposures so that the fin- ished photographs will match exactly.
- Page 17 To take panoramic shots, place the lens in normal position, shift scale facing upward, and operate the milled shift knob to shift the lens as far to the left as possible. Compose, focus, and shoot. With- out moving the camera, wind the film advance lever to advance the film one frame, and rotate the lens mount through so that the shift scale faces straight...
