BEFORE USING THE TC-16
(Read the following carefully and get the most out of your new AF
teleconverter TC-16 now and in the many years to come.)
Like Nikon cameras and lenses, your new teleconverter is a high-precision
instrument. Mounted between the Nikon F3AF camera body with the DX-1 AF
Finder installed, the only camera assembly the TC-16 can work
creases the prime lens's effective focal length to 1.6X with but a 1-1/3 f/stop
loss in effective aperture.
You'll find your TC-16 able to work with a large number of lenses, providing
autofocus operation only
Nikon Series E lenses. A built-in micromotor enables the teleconverter lens
elements to
move,
subject focus.
An advanced, multiple-element lens construction ensures your teleconverter
will deliver optimum optical performance with but negligible decrease in image
quality. As with most Nikon optics, the TC-16 benefits from Nikon Integrated
Coating (NIC), applied to all air-to-glass surfaces to reduce ghost images and
flare and to make color rendition more natural-looking.
(i.e.,
focus-aid function not available) with Nikkor and
assuring virtually instantaneous focus detection and pinpoint

LENS/TELECONVERTER COMPATIBILITY
The following table lists a variety of Al-type Nikkor and Nikon Series E lenses
which can be used with the Nikon AF Teleconverter TC-16.
Wideangle
Normal
Telepholo
Important!
'1.
You can distinguish Al-S from Al lenses through the color of the minimum
aperture indication on the aperture-direct-readout (ADR) scales—the Al-S's
scale is engraved in orange, that of Al in white.
2.
It is impossible to attach the TC-16 to any prime lens on which another tele-
converter has been mounted.
3. If the prime lens is the 300mm f/2 IF-ED, make sure you don't use its
cated teleconverter TC-14C at the same time.
4.
Non-AI-type lenses cannot be used with the TC-16.
5. Do not attempt to mount any lens other than those listed in the table above
(especially any Al-modified lens or other manufacturers' lenses) on the
TC-16—this will damage both lens and teleconverter.

CONNECTING LENS AND TELECONVERTER A„ A
Position the lens in the TC-16's bayonet mount with its aperture index aligned
with the TC-16's lens mounting index ®;
turn the lens counterclockwise until it click-stops into position- (With either the
300mm f/2 IF-ED or 200mm f/2 IF-ED, you turn the TC-16 clockwise until it
click-stops into position.)
To remove: Depress the lens release button ® on the TC-16 while grasping the
lens aperture
aligned with the TC-16's lens mounting index. (As for the 300mm f/2 IF-ED or
200mm f/2 IF-ED, turn the TC-16 counterclockwise until the lens aperture index
is aligned with the TC-16's Sens mounting index.)

and turn the lens clockwise until the lens aperture index is
then,
grasping the lens aperture
MOUNTING ON THE CAMERA BODY— —
Position the lens/teleconverter assembly in the camera's bayonet mount so
that the TC-16's camera mounting index ® is aligned with the camera's lens
mounting index. Then, grasp the aperture ring of the lens or the TC-16 and turn
the lens/teleconverter assembly counterclockwise until it click-stops into
position.
(In case of the 300mm f/2 IF-ED or 200mm f/2 IF-ED. you turn the
F3AF camera body clockwise until it clickstops into place.)
Note:
• When mounting the lens/teleconverter assembly on the F3AF camera body,
make sure with your finger that the camera's meter coupling lever is locked
in the "down" position. For further information, refer to the F3AF's instruction
manual.
To remove: Depress the tens release button on the camera body while grasping the aperture ring of the lens or the TC-16, and turn the lens/teleconverter
assembly clockwise until it comes off. (In case of the 300mm f/2 IF-ED or
200mm f/2 IF-ED, you turn the F3AF camera body counterclockwise until it
comes off.)

INITIAL PROCEDURES FOR AUTOFOCUS
PHOTOGRAPHY —C
1.
First attach the lens to the TC-16, then mount the lens/teieconverter
assembly onto the F3AF/DX-1 assembly.
2.
Slide the TC-16's ON/OF switch ® to the "ON" position as far as it wilt go-
do not slide it only part of the way,
3. Set the lens distance scale to the infinity (•») mark.
• At infinity, the focus detection range varies in accordance with the lens
in use—see following table.
4.
Lightly touching the F3AF's shutter release button will activate the micro-
motor built into the TC-16; simultaneously, the LED in-focus (••*) or focusimpossible warning indicator f x) inside the viewfinder will tight up.

5. Press the shutter release button all the way to release the shutter when both
LED in-focus indicators 04) light up to indicate subject in-focus condition.
For further information on viewfinder information, etc., refer to the F3AF
camera body's instruction manual.
