Using the Lens

Parts of the Lens: Names and Functions
See below for the names and functions of the parts of the lens.

Attachment and Removal

Attaching the Lens

1. Turn the camera off, remove the body cap, and detach the rear lens cap.
2. Position the lens on the camera body, keeping the mounting mark on the lens aligned with the mounting mark on the camera body, and then rotate the lens counterclockwise until it clicks into place.

Removing the Lens

1. Turn the camera off.
2. Press and hold the lens release button while turning the lens clockwise.

Attaching and Removing the Lens Hood

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

To remove the hood, reverse the above steps.

When attaching or removing the hood, hold it near the lens hood alignment mark (●) and avoid gripping the front of the hood too tightly. The hood can be reversed and mounted on the lens when not in use.

Cameras with AF-Assist Illuminators
The lens or lens hood may block the light from the camera AF-assist illuminator.

For the information on using the lens with cameras that have built-in AF- assist illuminators, visit the site below. https://downloadcenter.nikonimglib.com/

Using the Lens on Cameras with a Built-in Flash
Shadows will be visible in photos where light from the built-in flash is obscured by the lens or lens hood. Remove the lens hood before shooting. Note, however, that depending on the distance to the subject, and in the case of zoom lenses also on the lens focal length, shadows may appear even when the lens hood is removed.
For the information on focal lengths and subject distances at which shadows will not appear in photos taken with a built-in flash, visit the site below. https://downloadcenter.nikonimglib.com/

Precautions for Use

• Do not pick up or hold the lens or camera using only the lens caps or 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.
• Reattach the lens caps when the lens is not in use.
•  Do not leave the lens in humid locations or in locations in which it may be exposed to moisture. Rusting of the internal mechanism can cause irreparable damage.
•  Do not leave the lens next to open flames or in other extremely hot locations. Extreme heat could damage or warp the lens.
• Taking the lens from a warm to a cold environment or vice versa may cause damaging condensation inside and outside the lens. Place the lens in a sealed bag or plastic case before taking it across a temperature boundary. The lens can be taken from the bag or case once it has had time to adjust to the new temperature.
• We recommend that you place the lens in its case to protect it from scratches during transport.

Lens Maintenance

• Removing dust is normally sufficient to clean the glass surfaces of the lens.
• Smudges, fingerprints, and other oily stains can be removed using a soft, clean cotton cloth or third-party lens cleaning tissue lightly dampened with a small amount of ethanol or third-party lens cleaner; clean from the center outwards in a circular motion. Be sure to clean evenly and thoroughly without leaving smears.
• Never use organic solvents such as paint thinner or benzene to clean the lens.
•  Neutral Color (NC) filters (available separately) and the like can be used to protect the front lens element.
•  Do not store the lens in direct sunlight or with naphtha or camphor moth balls. If the lens will not be used for an extended period, store it in a cool, dry location to prevent mold and rust.
