Focus

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

MA (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, it 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.

Zoom and Depth of Field
Before focusing, rotate the zoom ring to adjust the focal length and frame the photograph. If the camera offers a depth-of-field preview (stop-down), the depth of field can be previewed in the viewfinder.

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 field or other factors, not show oo when the camera is focused on a distant object.

Aperture
The aperture is adjusted using camera controls. The frame rate may drop at some apertures.

Built-in Flash Units
The minimum focus distances at which the lens can be used with built-in camera flash units without vignetting are given below.

The Lens hood is not attached. Vignetting refers to shadows created where the end of the lens obscures the built-in flash. For the latest information on vignetting with this lens, see the camera manual.

Vibration Reduction (VR)

Vibration reduction (VR) reduces blur caused by camera shake, allowing shutter speeds up to 4.0 stops slower than would otherwise be the case, increasing the range of shutter speeds available. The effects of VR on the shutter speed are measured in a NORMAL mode according to Camera and Imaging Products Association (CIPA) standards; FX-format lenses are measured using FX-format digital cameras, DX-format lenses using DX-format cameras Zoom lenses are measured at maximum zoom.

Using the Vibration Reduction Switch

• Select OFF to turn vibration reduction off.
• Select NORMAL for enhanced vibration reduction when pho- tographing stationary subjects. Vibration reduction takes effect when the shutter-release button is pressed halfway.
• Select ACTIVE to reduce the effects of vibration when shooting from a moving vehicle, and in other situations with active camera motion. Vibration reduction takes ef- fect when the shutter-release button is pressed halfway.

Using Vibration Reduction: Notes

• When using vibration reduction, press the shutter-release button halfway and wait for the image in the viewfinder to stabilize before pressing the shutter-release button the rest of the way down.
• When vibration reduction is active, the image in the viewfinder may be blurred after the shutter is released. This does not indicate a malfunction.
• Slide the vibration reduction mode switch to NORMAL for panning shots. When the camera is panned, vibration reduction applies only to motion that is not part of the pan (if the camera is panned horizontally, for ex- ample, vibration reduction will be applied only to vertical shake), making it much easier to pan the camera smoothly in a wide arc.
• Do not turn the camera off or remove the lens while vibration reduction is in effect. If the power to the lens is cut while vibration reduction is on, the lens may rattle when shaken. This is not a malfunction and can be corrected by reattaching the lens and turning the camera on.
• If the camera is equipped with a built-in flash, vibration reduction will be disabled while the flash charges.
• NORMAL and ACTIVE vibration reduction can reduce blur when the camera is mounted on a tripod. OFF may however produce better results in some cases depending on the type of tripod and on shooting conditions.
• NORMAL and ACTIVE are recommended if the camera is mounted on a monopod.

The Lens Hood

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

Attaching the Hood

Align the lens hood mounting mark with the lens hood alignment mark (and then rotate the hood (until the mark is aligned with the lens hood lock mark.

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.

Detaching the Hood
Press the lens hood lock release button. rotate the hood in the direction shown by the arrow (), and remove it as shown.

Lens Care

• The lens returns to maximum aperture when removed from the camera. To protect the interior of the lens, store it out of direct sunlight or replace the lens caps.
• 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.
• The fluorine-coated front and rear elements of the teleconverter can be cleaned simply by wiping them with a dry cloth. Smudges and fingerprints can be removed using a soft, clean cotton cloth or lens cleaning9 tissue; clean from the center outwards using a circular motion, taking care not to leave smears or touch the glass surface with your fingers. to remove stubborn stains, wipe gently using a soft cloth dampened with a small amount of distilled water, ethanol, or lens cleaner. Drop-shaped stains on the water- and oil-repellent fluorine-coated elements can be removed with a dry cloth.
• 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 irrepa- rable damage.
• Leaving the lens in extremely hot locations could damage or warp parts made from reinforced plastic.
