selected even when the required compensation value is "0" (no compensation
required). For FS cameras, compensate using Custom Setting #18 on the camera
body. For F4-Series cameras, compensate using the Exposure Compensation Dial
for the focusing screen.
See instruction manual of the camera body for more details.
Blank box means not applicable. Since type M screen can be used for both macro-
photography at a 1: 1 magnification ratio and for photomicrography, it has different
applications than other screens.
• When using the Band Efocusing screens in cameras other than those listed above,
refer to the columns for the Band Escreens.
13. Lens care
• Clean the lens surfaces with a blower brush. To remove dirt and smudges, use a
soft, clean cotton cloth or lens tissue moistened with ethanol (alcohol) or lens
cleaner. Wipe in a circular motion from center to outer edge, taking care not to leave
traces or touch other parts of the lens.
• Never use thinner or benzene to clean the lens as this might damage it, result in a
fire, or cause health problems.
