For Your Safety

• Do not disassemble. Touching the internal parts of the camera or lens could result in injury. In the event of malfunction, the product should be repaired only by a qualified technician. Should the product break open as the result of a fall or other accident, remove the camera battery and/or disconnect the AC adapter and then take the product to a Nikon-authorized service center for inspection.
• Turn the camera off immediately in the event of malfunction. Should you notice smoke or an unusual smell coming from the equipment, immediately unplug the AC adapter and remove the camera battery, taking care to avoid burns. Continued operation could result in fire or injury. After removing the battery, take the equipment to a Nikon-authorized service center for inspection.
• Do not use in the presence of flammable gas. Operating electronic equipment in the presence of flammable gas could result in explosion or fire.
• Do notlookatthe sun through the lens or the camera viewfinder. Viewing the sun or other bright light source through the lens or viewfinder could cause permanent visual impairment.
• Keep out of reach of children. Failure to observe this precaution could result in injury.
• Observe the following precautions when handling the lens and camera:
  • Keep the lens and camera dry. Failure to observe this precaution could result in fire or electric shock.
  • Do not handle the lens or camera with wet hands. Failure to observe this precaution could result in electric shock.
  • Keep the sun well out of the frame when shooting backlit subjects. Sunlight focused into the camera when the sun is in or close to the frame could cause a fire.
  • If the lens will not be used for an extended period, attach the front and rear lens caps and store the lens out of direct sunlight. If left in direct sunlight, the lens could focus the sun’s rays onto flammable objects, causing fire.
• Do not carry tripods with a lens or camera attached. You could trip or accidentally strike others, resulting in injury.
• Do not leave the product where it will be exposed to extremely high temperatures, such as in an enclosed automobile or in direct sunlight. Failure to observe this precaution could cause damage or fire.

Focus

Supported focus modes are shown in the following table (for information on camera focus modes, see the camera manual).

MIA (Autofocus with Manual Override)
To focus using autofocus with manual override (M/ A):

1. Slide the lens focus-mode switch to M/ A.
2. Focus.
   If desired, autofocus can be over-ridden by rotating the lens focus ring while the shutter-release button is pressed halfway (or, if the camera is equipped with an AF-ON button, while the AF-ON button is pressed). To refocus using autofocus, press the shutter-release button halfway or press the AF-ON button again.

A Note on Wide- and Super Wide-Angle Lenses

Autofocus may not provide the desired results in situations like those shown below. In these cases, use manual focus, or use focus lock to focus on another subject at the same distance and then recompose the photograph.

• Objects in the background occupy more of the focus point than the main subject:
  If the focus point contains both foreground and background objects, the camera may focus on the background and the subject may be out of focus.

• The subject contains many fine details:
  The camera may have difficulty focusing on subjects that lack contrast or appear smaller than objects in the background.

For more information, see “Getting Good Results with Autofocus” in the camera manual.

Depth of Field

The depth-of-field indicators on the lens show the approximate depth of field. If the camera offers depth-of-field preview (stop down), depth of field can also be previewed in the viewfinder. See the depth of field table for more information.
Note: Note that the focus distance indicator is intended only as a guide and may not accurately show the distance to the subject and may, due to depth of fteld or other factors, not show oo when the camera is focused on a distant object.

Aperture

Aperture is adjusted using camera controls.

Built-in Flash Units

When using the built-in flash on cameras equipped with a built-in flash unit, shoot at ranges of 0.6 m (2 ft) or more and remove the lens hood to prevent vignetting (shadows created where the end of the lens obscures the built-in flash).

The Lens Hood

The lens hoods protect the lens and block stray light that would otherwise cause flare or ghosting.

Attaching the Hood

• When attaching or removing the hood, hold it near the symbol on its base and avoid gripping it too tightly. Vignetting may occur if the hood is not correctly attached.
• The hood can be reversed and mounted on the lens when not in use.

Focusing Screens

The following cameras support a variety of focusing screens for use in different situations.

Empty cell: Not suited to use with this lens. Note that type M screens can however be used for photomicrography and macro photography at magnifications of 1 : 1 or higher.
Note: The F5 supports matrix metering with A, 8, E, EC-8/EC-E, J, and L focusing screens only.

Lens Care

• Do not pick up or hold the lens or camera using only the lens hood.
• Keep the CPU contacts clean.
• Should the rubber lens-mount gasket be damaged, cease use immediately and take the lens to a Nikon-authorized service center for repair.
• Use a blower to remove dust and lint from the lens surfaces. To remove smudges and fingerprints, apply a small amount of ethanol or lens cleaner to a soft, clean cotton cloth or lens-cleaning tissue and clean from the center outwards using a circular motion, taking care not to leave smears or touch the glass with your fingers.
• Never use organic solvents such as paint thinner or benzene to clean the lens.
• The lens hood or NC filters can be used to protect the front lens element.
• Attach the front and rear caps before placing the lens in its flexible pouch.
•  If the lens will not be used for an extended period, store it in a cool, dry location to prevent mold and rust. Do not store in direct sunlight or with naphtha or camphor moth balls.
• Keep the lens dry. Rusting of the internal mechanism can cause irreparable damage.
• Leaving the lens in extremely hot locations could damage or warp parts made from reinforced plastic.
