when
you
shoot infrared
film,
note
that
the
plane
of sharpest
focus
is
slightly farther
away
than
that
in
visible-light
photo-
graphy
As
a
rule
of
thumb,
you
can
compensate
for
this shift
in focus
by referring
to
the
infrared
compensation
index
(in
the
form
of either a red
dot or a red
line) near
the
focusing
index
on
the
lens
barrel
(Some
lenses,
including
the
Reflex-Nikkor,
do not
need
compensatron
)
Af
ter

check

distance
and
turn

the

index
lines
up with
the

the exact
position
of

is
used
to measure
the

such as
in
macrophotography.
