(camera About D-type AF Nikkor
D
lenses
D-type AF Nikkor lenses enable you
to maximise the F70/F70 's
D
performance. They send
information on lens focusing
distance (e.g., Distance Information)
to the F70/F70 's microcomputer
D
for inclusion in the computations for
3D Matrix Metering. If built-in flash
or Nikon Speedlight SB-28/SB-27/
SB-26/SB-25 is used, this
information will also contribute to
3D Multi-Sensor Balanced Fill-
Flash. D-type AF Nikkor lenses are
identified by the letter "D" which
follows information on maximum
aperture (e.g., AF Zoom-Nikkor 28-
70mm f/3.5-4.5 D). All AF-S/AF-I
Nikkor lenses are D-type.

ACCESSORY COMPATIBILITY

The following accessories cannot be used with the Nikon
F70/F70D camera:
PK-1,PK-2, PK-3, PN-1, K2 BR-2 Rings
Body Cap BF-1
Eyepiece Accessories for F3HP/F3T
• PK-1, PK-11, BR-4 and K1 Rings cannot be mounted directly
on AF Nikkor lenses.
• The advanced Nikon Matrix meter evaluates scene brightness
and contrast using an eight-segment sensor. Since coloured
filters and neutral density filters which have a high exposure
factor will also significantly affect a scene's contrast rendition,
they may cause the meter to incorrectly identify the scene's
actual contrast/brightness condition. The blue (B12), orange
(O56) and red (R60) filters are examples of such coloured
filters.
• Linear polarizing filters are not compatible with the viewing
system used in Nikon autofocus cameras. For the best results
and to maintain autofocus and exposure operation, we
recommend using a circular polariser, which is fully
compatible with the Nikon system. Using a linear polariser,
however, will not damage the Nikon system, and it may be
used for fully manual focusing and exposure settings made
without using the built-in meter or Electronic Rangefinder.
• Special filters, such as soft focus filters, cannot be used for
autofocus or for manual focus with Electronic Rangefinder.
