Nikon AI-S Zoom-NIKKOR 100-300mm f-5.6 - Manual (Page 9)

MACRO FOCUSING -D
Although normal focusing is possible from infinity (“) to 2m (7ft), you can focus even
closer at the 100mm focal length setting (and at this setting only). To get into the
macro mode, just slide the focusing/zooming ring to the 100mm focal length scale
which is colored orange like the macro range line ®. At this setting, you can rotate the
focusing/zooming ring beyond the distance scale 2m (7ft) and can close-focus continu­
ously anywhere from 2m (7ft) down to 0.71m (2.3ft). In the area indicated by the or­
ange macro range line, zooming cannot be done. Although this lens has macro focusing
capability, the use of a Micro-Nikkor lens is recommended for document copying or
slide duplication where critical sharpness is required.
RECOMMENDED FOCUSING SCREENS
Various interchangeable focusing screens are available for F3- and F2-series cameras to
suit any type of lens or picture-taking situation. Those which are recommended for use

and F2-series cameras (e.g., Nikon FA, FE2, F'M2 and FE), refer to the column for F3-
series cameras. For the K2, B2 and E2 focusing screens, refer to the columns on the K,
