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 counter clockwise 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.

Removing the Lens
Do not remove the lens while the camera is on.

• If, after removing the lens from the camera, you notice that it rattles when shaken, reattach the lens, turn the camera on, and then turn the camera off and remove the lens in the correct order.

B. The Lens Info Panel
The lens Into panel lights when the lens is attached to a camera and the camera is on.

• Press the lens display button to cycle the display as shown: 1 Depth of held is displayed when the camera is in mode A or M.
  2 The effective aperture is displayed only when the camera is in mode A or M The display for other modes is shown in the illustration.

• The panel turns off automatically when the camera standby timer expires or if no lens operations are performed for about 10 seconds. Press the display button to reactivate the display.

The Lens Info Panel
The focus distance, depth of field, and reproduction ratio displayed In the lens Info panel are approximations only.
Reproduction Ratio
When the reproduction ratio is displayed in the lens info panel, the value shown by the index is the denominator. For example, the index points to”1″ to show a reproduction ratio of 1:1 (life size) and to”2″ when the reproduction ratio is 1:2 (half life-size). C. Panel Options
Follow the steps below to choose the units for focus distance from meters (m) or feet (ft) or adjust the brightness of the lens Info panel.

1. Press and hold the display button to view settings.
   • Unit or brightness selection options will be displayed.The currently selected item will flash.
   • Press the display button to toggle between displays.

2. Choose a setting using the lens control ring.
   Units
   – Rotate the control ring to choose from me-ters (m) or feet (ft).
   Brightness
   – Rotate the control ring in the “+” (brighter) or “—” (darker) direction.
   – Choose from 6 levels of brightness.
   – To turn the lens info panel off, rotate the ring in the “–” direction until the icon changes to . • Press the display button to save changes and toggle the display.
   • If no operations are performed using lens controls for about 5 seconds, panel options will clear from the display. Any changes will be lost.

3. Press and hold the display button to return to the lens information display.
   • Choosing for brightness turns the lens info panel oft To turn the display on again, press and hold the display button.

D. Attaching and Removing the Lens Hood
Attaching the Lens Hood

• Align the lens hood mounting mark with the lens hood alignment mark ① and then rotate the lens hood ② until the mounting mark is aligned with the lens hood lock mark ③.
• Gripping the front too tightly makes the lens hood difficult to attach or remove. When rotating the lens hood, hold it near the lens hood alignment mark ( ****) on its base.
• The lens hood can be reversed and mounted on the lens when not in use.

Removing the Lens Hood

• Keeping the lens hood lock release button pressed ( ① ), rotate the lens hood in the direction shown ( ② ) and remove it from the lens ( ③ ).
• The same procedure can be used when the lens hood is reversed.

Shooting Close-Ups
This lens can be used for close-ups, letting you get closer to your subject so that it fills more of the frame. When shooting close-ups, note the following:

• Close-ups are prone to blur caused by camera shake. We recommend that you mount the camera on a tripod and release the shutter using an optional remote cord or wire-less remote controller.
• Shooting at short focus distances noticeably reduces depth of field. To increase depth of field and so increase the apparent depth of focus in front of and behind the focus point, stop aperture down and increase exposure times.
• Be careful not to strike your subject when using the lens hood.

Adjusting Aperture
The aperture of the lens varies in a range that changes with focus distance. At a focus distance of infinity, aperture ranges from f/2.8 to f/32, while the range at a focus dis-tance of 0.29 m (0.96 ft) is f/4.5 to I/51. At apertures matching or close to the maximum and minimum for the lens in modes A and M, effective aperture’ is automatically ad-justed for changes in focus distance as shown. 2 For example, if an aperture of f/2.8 is selected at a focus distance of infinity, the effective aperture when the focus distance is reduced to 0.29 m (0.96 ft) will be f/4.5.

1. Due to the way the lens is constructed, the brightness of the image it projects on the image sensor varies with focus distance. The image darkens as the focus distance drops and the reproduction ratio increases. The camera and lens info panel conse-quently show an “effective aperture” that reflects this variation in brightness.
2. Assuming an aperture step size of 1/2 EV.

Choosing a Reproduction Ratio
To take pictures at a selected reproduction ratio—for example, 1:1 (life size) or 1:2 (half life-size):

1. Slide the focus-mode switch to M.

2. Press the display button to display the reproduction ratio in the lens info panel.

3. Rotate the focus ring until the desired reproduction ratio is selected in the lens info panel.
   • For example, to select a reproduction ratio of 1:2, rotate the focus ring until the index points to”2″” Do not rotate the focus ring after choosing the reproduction ratio.

4. Position the camera so that the subject is in focus.
   • Move the camera forward or back until the image in the shooting display is in focus.

Reproduction Ratio
The “reproduction ratio’ is the ratio of the apparent size of an object on the image sensor to its true size. If the length of the subject on the image sensor is 1 cm when the actual subject is 2cm long, for example, the reproduction ratio is 1:2 (half life-size).
Vibration Reduction (VR)
The lens supports vibration reduction. Vibration reduction settings can be adjusted from the camera. For more information, see the camera manual.
With (Normal] selected for the on-camera vibration reduction option, vibration reduc-tion allows shutter speeds up to 4.5 stops’ slower than would otherwise be the case, expanding the range of shutter speeds available.

• Measured according to C/PA standards. Values for lenses that support FX format are mea-sured on FX-format mirrorless cameras, those for DX lenses on DX-format mirrorless cam-eras. Values for zoom lenses are measured at maximum zoom.
  Vibration Reduction and Focus Distance
  The effectiveness of vibration reduction diminishes as the focus distance drops.
  Vibration Reduction
  We recommend selecting [Off ] for the on-camera vibration reduction option when the camera is mounted on a tripod or monopod.
  Taking Photographs
  The focus position may change if you turn the camera off and then on again after fo-cusing. If you have focused on a pre-selected location while waiting for your subject to appear, we recommend that you do not turn the camera off until the picture is taken.
  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 illumi-nators, 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 depend-ing 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.
• Replace 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. Ex-treme heat could damage or warp the reinforced plastic exterior.
• 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 Care

• Removing dust is normally sufficient to clean the glass surfaces of the lens.

• When cleaning the fluorine-coated front lens element:
  – Remove fingerprints and other oily stains with a soft, clean cotton cloth or third-party lens cleaning tissue; clean from the center outwards using a circular motion.
  – To remove stubborn stains, wipe gently using a soft cloth lightly dampened with a small amount of distilled water, ethanol, or third-party lens cleaner.
  – Drop-shaped marks may form on fluorine-coated surfaces, which are highly water-and oil-repellent. Such marks can be removed with a dry cloth.

• When cleaning the rear lens element, which is not fluorine-coated:
  – Remove fingerprints and other oily stains with a soft, clean 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 using 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 with naphtha or camphor moth balls or in direct sunlight. If the lens will not be used for an extended period, store it in a cool, dry location to prevent mold and rust.
