The usable
number of film rolls was tested under the following
conditions by Nikon.
Test 1
Using
an AF-S VR 24-120mm f/3.5-5.6G IF-ED lens, Vibration Reduction
function on, in Continuous Servo AF with film advance mode at
S and shutter speed of 1/250 second. After lightly pressing
the shutter release button for 8 seconds, autofocus operation
covers the full range from infinity ( ) to the closest
distance and back to infinity ( ) before each shot. After the
exposure meter automatically turns off, the same operation
follows for the next shot. |
