Infrared Focusing Index
When you shoot infrared film, note that the plane of sharpest
focus is slightly farther away than that in visible-light photo
graphy. As a rule of thumb, you can compensate for this shift
in focus by referring to the infrared compensation index (in the
form of either a dot or a line) near the focusing index on the lens
barrel. (Some lenses, including the Reflex-Nikkor, do not need
compensation.)
After focusing the image sharply through the viewfinder, check the
focused distance and reset the focusing ring so that the red infrared
compensation index lines up with the prefocused distance. Be sure
to shoot with the appropriate filter, such as the R60, etc. (In this
photo, subject-to-camera distance is set at«.)
Film Plane Indicator #
The film plane indicator (-®- ) is engraved on the top deck Just
behind the shutter speed dial. It indicates the exact position of
the film plane inside the camera and is used to measure the
exact distance between the subject and film plane, such as in
macrophotography. The distance between the film plane and
lens mounting flange @ is exactly 46.5mm.
