Optional Accessories - Nikon F55 - F55 35mm SLR Camera Instruction Manual

Optional Accessories

A variety of optional accessories, including lens and Speedlight is available for
the F55/F55D.
Eyepiece correction lenses
• Eyepiece correction lenses enable near- or far-sighted photographers to adjust the
eyepiece dioptre to suit their vision, and can be attached easily by inserting onto the
viewfinder eyepiece. Nine optional eyepiece correction lenses provide viewfinder
dioptre settings of –5, –4, –3, –2, 0, +0.5, +1, +2 and +3m
setting on camera body). We recommend that you actually look through the viewfinder
with various correction lenses attached before making a purchase, since viewfinder
dioptre differs from one person to another. Use the optional eyepiece correction lens
when you need eyepiece correction over –1.5 to +0.8m
the F55/F55D's dioptre adjustment lever.
The rubber eyecup cannot be used together with the eyepiece correction lenses.
Lenses
• A wide variety of AF lenses—wideangle, telephoto, zoom, Micro or DC (Defocus image
Control)—is available for the F55/F55D.
Filters
• Nikon filters can be divided into three types: screw-in, drop-in and rear-interchange.
With the F55/F55D, the filter factor need not be considered except for the R60 filter.
Compensate exposure +1 EV when using the R60.
Note that when special filters available from manufacturers other than Nikon are used,
autofocus or the electronic rangefinder may not operate properly.
• Use circular-polarising filter C-PL instead of polarising filter Polar. The linear polarising
filter cannot be used with the F55/F55D.
• Use NC filter when using the filter to protect the lens.
• Moiré may occur when shooting a subject against bright light or if a bright light source
is in the frame. In this case, remove the filter before shooting.
