The type K focusing screen that comes with the N6000 has
three focusing aids:
A.
Split-image focusing
For
precise, pinpoint focusing of subjects with distinct
edges/contours, turn the focusing ring until the split-image
becomes whole.
B.
Microprism focusing
For
rapid focusing and for subjects with indistinct outlines,
turn focusing ring until the shimmering image becomes
sharp.
C.
Matte-field focusing
26
For
close-up photography
at
high magnification, or when
using a telephoto lens with a maximum aperture of approx.
1111
or
smaller, the split-image may darken.
Turn
focusing
ring until image
on
the matte field appears sharp.
The N6000 viewfinder covers approx. 92% of the image
area of the actual photograph so the actual picture
comes out larger than the image
in
the viewfinder. Note
that the picture comes out trimmed down
in
the case
of
mounted slides or service-size prints from negatives .
When using a zoom lens:
For
maximum focusing accuracy, focus
at
the lens'
longest focal length setting. The shallow depth of field
and large image scale
at
the longest focal length setting
help ensure pinpoint focusing. Conversely, focusing
at
the shortest focal length setting and then zooming up
to
the longest focal length setting will magnify any slight
imprecision
in
focusing and could result
in
unsharp
pictures.
