Basic operation
nA small M above the “ZOOM” indication appears on the LCD panel while manually setting
the zoom-head position.
nGenerally, set the zoom-head position to the focal length of the lens in use or to the
closest wideangle setting.
For example, select the 50mm setting when using a 60mm lens.

Canceling the power zoom function using Custom settings
m When the power zoom function is canceled in the Custom settings mode
(p. 12), the small M blinks and the zoom-head position indicator does not
change even if the lens is zoomed, a lens is changed, or the b button is
pressed.
m The zoom head can manually be adjusted to 24mm, 28mm, 35mm, 50mm,
70mm, 85mm, or 105mm by pressing the c or d button.
nPress the c button to move toward a wideangle setting and the d button to move
toward a telephoto setting. The zoom-head position changes as follows:
24mm
↔
28mm
↔
35mm
↔
50mm
↔
70mm
↔
85mm
↔
105mm

Using the built-in wide-flash adapter/
Nikon Diffusion Dome
m Use the built-in wide-flash adapter when a 14mm to 23mm lens is mounted (p. 72).
nThe power zoom function becomes inactive when using the wide-flash adapter. Press the
c or d button to adjust the zoom-head position to 14mm or 17mm.
nThe zoom-head position is automatically set at 14mm when the Nikon Diffusion Dome is
attached.
nWhen using a 14mm or 17mm lens or the Nikon Diffusion Dome, the distance between
the camera and subject becomes increasingly pronounced from the center of the frame
to the periphery, so the peripheral area might not be sufficiently lit in some cases.
