Nikon 05420097 Nikkor Z 14-24mm f 2.8 S Lens-fig1

Before using this product, please carefully read both these instructions and the camera manual. The illustrations in these instructions show an AF-P DX NIKKOR 70–300 mm f/4.5–6.3G ED VR lens.
Note: DX lenses are for use with Nikon DX-format digital single-lens refl ex cameras. The angle of view of a lens on a DX-format camera is equivalent to that of a lens with a focal length about 1.5 × longer mounted on a 35 mm format camera.

  • This lens does not support D4-series, D3-series, D2-series, D1-series, D800-series, D700, D610, D600, D300-series, D200, D100, D90, D80, D70-series, D60, D50, D40-series, D7000, D5100, D5000, D3200, D3100 or D3000 digital SLR cameras or fi lm SLR cameras. When using it with a D5500, D5300, or D3300, be sure the camera fi rmware has been updated to the latest version. If the camera is off or the standby timer has expired, the focus ring can not be used to focus the camera and rotating the zoom ring will cause the subject to go out of focus. Before focusing, turn the camera on or restart the standby timer by pressing the shutter-release button halfway.
  • Autofocus and rangefi nder features are supported at all focal lengths. When using this lens, ignore any sections of the camera manual listing au-tofocus and rangefi nder restrictions for lenses with a maximum aperture slower than f/5.6.

Attaching and Removing the Lens

Attaching the Lens

  1. Turn the camera off and remove the camera body cap.
  2. Remove the rear lens cap.
  3. Attach the lens.
    Keeping the lens mounting mark aligned with the mounting mark on the camera body, position the lens in the camera’s bayonet mount and then rotate the lens counter-clockwise until it clicks into place with the lens mounting mark at the top.

Removing the Lens

  1. Turn the camera off .
  2. Remove the lens.
    To remove the lens, press the camera lens release button while turning the lens clockwise.

Focus

Focus mode is determined by the camera focus mode. See the camera manual for information on camera focus mode selection. Users of D810-series, Df, D750, D7200, D7100, or D5200 cameras should note that if the standby timer is allowed to expire, the focus position will change when the timer is restarted. Refocus before shooting. Longer standby times are recommended for manual focus and in other situations in which you may not release the shutter immediately after focusing.

Autofocus
Focus is adjusted automatically when the camera is in autofocus mode. The focus ring can also be used to focus the camera if the shutter-release but-ton is kept pressed halfway (or if the AF-ON button is kept pressed); this is known as “autofocus with manual override” (M/A). Autofocus will resume when the shutter-release button is pressed halfway (or the AF-ON button is pressed) a second time. Note that touching the focus ring while autofocus is in eff ect will change the focus position.

Manual Focus
When the camera is in manual focus mode, focus can be adjusted by rotat-ing the lens focus ring.

  • Zoom
    Before focusing, rotate the zoom ring to adjust the focal length and frame the photograph.

  • Depth of Field
    If the camera off ers depth-of-fi eld preview, depth of fi eld can be previewed in the viewfi nder.

  • Aperture
    Aperture is adjusted using camera controls.

  • Built-in Flash Units
    When using the built-in fl ash on cameras equipped with a built-in fl ash unit, remove the lens hood to prevent vignetting (shadows created where the end of the lens obscures the built-in fl ash).

Vibration Reduction (VR, AF-P DX NIKKOR 70–300 Vibration Reduction (VR, AF-P DX NIKKOR 70–300 mm mm f/4.5–6.3G ED f/4.5–6.3G ED VR Only)VR Only)

Vibration reduction (VR) is available when an AF-P DX NIKKOR 70–300 mm f/4.5–6.3G ED VR lens is mounted on the camera and the shutter-release button is pressed halfway. Vibration reduction can be turned on and off us-ing the Optical VR option in the camera menus; when on, it 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 eff ects of VR on shutter speed are measured according to Camera and Imaging Products Association (CIPA) standards; FX-format lens-es are measured using FX-format digital cameras, DX-format lenses using DX-format cameras. Zoom lenses are measured at maximum zoom.

Using Vibration Reduction: Notes

  • When using vibration reduction, press the shutter-release button halfway and wait for the image in the viewfi nder to stabilize before pressing the shutter-release button the rest of the way down.
  • When vibration reduction is active, the image in the viewfi nder may be blurred after the shutter is released. This does not indicate a malfunction.
  • 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.
  • If the camera is equipped with a built-in fl ash, vibration reduction will be disabled while the fl ash charges.
  • Vibration reduction is generally recommended when the camera is mounted on a tripod, although you may prefer to turn it off depending on shooting conditions and the type of tripod.
  • Vibration reduction is recommended when the camera is mounted on a monopod.

The Optional Lens Hood

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

Attaching the Hood
Align the lens hood mounting mark (●) with the lens hood alignment mark and then rotate the hood (w) until the ● mark is aligned with the lens hood lock mark .

Nikon 05420097 Nikkor Z 14-24mm f 2.8 S Lens-fig5

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. When the hood is reversed, it can be attached and removed by rotating it while holding it near the lock mark .

Lens Care

  • Do not pick up or hold the lens or camera using only the lens hood.
  • Keep the CPU contacts clean.
  • Use a blower to remove dust and lint from the lens surfaces. To remove smudges and fi ngerprints, apply a small amount of ethanol or lens clean-er 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 fi lters can be used to protect the front lens element.
  • Attach the front and rear caps before placing the lens in its lens case.
  • 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.
