ACCESSORIES
Filters
Nikon filters allow you to balance the light to match your film or
to create interesting artistic effects. Nikon filters are divided into
the screw-in, drop-in, and bayonet type. With the Nikon FA, the
filter factor can be ignored except in the case of the R60. When
using the R60 in tungsten lighting, set the aperture one f/stop
wider than the figure indicated by the exposure meter.
• For lens protection, the L39 or L37C is recommended.
• When shooting a backlit subject or if there's a bright light
source in the frame, a ghost image is likely to result from the
use of a filter. In this case, you should take the picture with
out a filter.
Lens Hoods
Recommended to prevent extraneous light from striking the
lens. Nikon's lens hoods come in four styles: screw-in, slip-on,
snap-on, and collapsible-rubber.
