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 D3X can not be used with linear polarizing filters. Use
the C-PL circular polarizing filter instead.
• Use NC and L37C filters to protect 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).
Optional
flash units
• Nikon Speedlights SB-900, SB-800, SB-600, and SB-400
• Nikon Wireless Remote Speedlight SB-R200 (Controlled remotely
using the SB-900, SB-800 flash unit or SU-800 wireless
Speedlight commander.)

See page 187 for more information.
Water
guards
• Water Guard WG-AS1: The optional WG-AS1 is a water guard that
covers the base of SB-900 flash units mounted on the D3X,
increasing the SB-900’s splash resistance by protecting the
accessory shoe contacts from rain and spray.
PC card
adapters
• EC-AD1 PC Card Adapter: The EC-AD1 PC card adapter allows
Type I CompactFlash memory cards to be inserted in
PCMCIA card slots.
