( ): Indicates degree of exposure compensation needed (Center-Weighted
metering only). For F6 cameras, compensate by selecting "Other screen" in
Custom Setting "b6: Screen comp." and setting the EV level to -2.0 to +2.0
in 0.5 EV steps. When using screens other than type B or E, "Other screen"
must be selected even when the required compensation value is "0" (no
compensation required). For F5 cameras, compensate using Custom Setting
#18 on the camera body. For F4-Series cameras, compensate using the
Exposure Compensation Dial for the focusing screen.
See instruction manual of the camera body for more details.
Blank box means not applicable. Since type M screen can be used for both
macrophotography at a 1:1 magnification ratio and for photomicrography, it has
different applications than other screens.
• For F5 cameras, only EC-B, EC-E, B, E, J, A, L focusing screens are usable in
Matrix Metering.
• When using the B and E focusing screens in cameras other than those listed
above, refer to the columns for the B and E screens.

14. Lens care

• Clean the lens surfaces with a blower brush. To remove dirt and smudges, use
a soft, clean cotton cloth or lens tissue moistened with ethanol (alcohol) or
lens cleaner. Wipe in a circular motion from center to outer edge, taking care
not to leave traces or touch other parts of the lens.
• Never use thinner or benzene to clean the lens as this might damage it, result
in a fire, or cause health problems.
• When the lens is not in use, attach the lens cap to protect the front lens
element.
• When storing the lens in its lens case, attach both front and rear caps.
• When the lens will not be used for a long time, store it in a cool, dry place to
prevent mold. Also store the lens away from direct sunlight or chemicals such
as camphor or naphthalene.
• Do not get water on the lens or drop it in water as this will cause it to rust and
malfunction.
• Reinforced plastic is used for certain parts of the lens. To avoid damage, never
leave the lens in an excessively hot place.
