The Shift Function - Nikon PC-E Micro NIKKOR 85mm f/2.8D User Manual

• When using a camera other than the D4, D3-Series,
D800-Series, D700, D300-Series, D90, D7000, D5100,
D5000, D3100 or D3000, set the aperture with the lens'
aperture ring even on a camera that requires aperture to
be set via its command dial. With a camera that has the
custom setting menu "aperture setting with lens'
aperture ring," this setting is not required.
7. The shift/tilt function
Important
• Use of a tripod is recommended for correct shooting.
• Turning each knob too tightly can cause damage.
• Use of tilt/shift function can cause some vignetting.
(Vignetting is the darkening of the corners around the
image.) To counteract this, close the aperture (choose a
larger f-number), or compensate the exposure before
shooting.
• Determining correct exposure with shift and/or tilt use
requires experience. We recommend that you take a
series of test shots until you feel comfortable with the
operation.

The shift function

When the shift knob is rotated, the lens is shifted
horizontally (or vertically, when the lens is revolved) parallel
to the camera body (±11.5 mm).
