Filters

Nikon filters can be divided into three types: screw-in, slip-in, and rear-

interchange. Use Nikon filters; filters manufactured by other makers may
interfere with autofocus or electronic range finding.

The D90 can not be used with linear polarizing filters. Use the C-PL circular

polarizing filter instead.

The NC and L37C filters are recommended for protecting the lens.
To prevent moiré, use of a filter is not recommended when the subject is framed

against a bright light, or when a bright light source is in the frame.

Center-weighted metering is recommended with filters with exposure factors

(filter factors) over 1 × (Y44, Y48, Y52, O56, R60, X0, X1, C-PL, ND2S, ND4, ND4S,
ND8, ND8S, ND400, A2, A12, B2, B8, B12).
