In focus
Macrophotography
The Cine-Nikkor zoom lens incorpo¬
rates an override for macrophotogra¬
phy without any accessories. You may
actually focus down until the subject
comes in contact with the front lens
element (a distance of 170mm from
the film plane). First set the lens at
infinity («>) and the zoom ring to any
focal length below 60mm. Then push
the zoom ring forward. To focus in
macro mode, turn the zoom ring
instead of the focusing ring. The
orange numbers uncovered in this
procedure are the macro distance
scale and serve as a rough focusing
guideline. Do not use them for scale
focusing.
Shifting the Point of Focus
Shifting the point of focus rapidly
between a close subject and a distant
subject can add interest to your
films. The procedure for a shift from
near to distant is as follows:
1. Secure the camera to a tripod or
other firm
support to prevent
camera shake.
2. Focus the camera on the distant
subject, using the focusing ring.
3. Without disturbing the focusing
ring setting, push the zoom ring
all the way forward for macro
mode.
4. Focus on the near subject using
the
zoom
ring,
as
explained
previously.
5. Begin filming of the near subject
now in focus.
6. While continuing to depress the
trigger, pull back the zoom ring to
its normal position. The distant
subject will now be in focus.
7. Continue depressing the trigger
until
the
desired
amount
of
footage has been exposed.
Important: In macrophotography or focal-
shift filming, camera shake is magnified
many times and results in blurred Images.
For best results, always mount the camera
on a tripod or other firm support.
