• Determining correct exposure with shift and/or tilt use requires
experience. We recommend that you take a series of test shots
until you feel comfortable with the operation.
• When the lens is mounted to a camera other than the D3, shift
and/or tilt the lens with care. Failure to do so, may result in your
fingers being nipped between the lens and the camera body, or
the lens scratching the camera body.
The shift function
When the shift knob is rotated, the lens is shifted horizontally (or vertically,
when the lens is revolved) parallel to the camera body (±11.5 mm).
By shifting, you can recompose the frame of the shot without
moving the camera.
This lets you correct the perspective distortion of the subject
or exclude unwanted objects from appearing in front of the main
subject (p. 195).
• After shifting, tighten the shift lock release knob to fix the lens’
shift position.
Note: When shifting the lens, be careful not to pinch your fingers
between the lens and the grip of the camera body.
