• Do not use more than one filter at a time, or vignetting may
occur. Be especiaily careful when using filters together with
short focal-length lenses.
• When shooting a backlit subject or if there is a bright source
in the frame, a ghosf image is likeiy to result when using a
filter. In this case, remove filter.
• When using a filter requiring exposure compensation such
as the 056, R60, ND filter, etc., Matrix Meter performance is
altered by the filter’s affect on contrast; to get correct expo­
sure, use Center-Weighted metering.
•When using R60 under tungsten light, increase the exposure
value by one f/stop more than that indicated by the exposure
meter.
