Thank you for purchasing the AF-S DX NIKKOR 18-200mm f/3.5-5.6G ED VR II lens. DX NIKKOR lenses are specially
designed for use with Nikon digital-SLR (Nikon DX format) cameras, such as the D300-series and D90. When
mounted on Nikon DX format cameras, the lens picture angle is equivalent to approximately 1.5× the focal length

in 35mm format. Before using this lens, please read these instructions and refer to your camera’s User’s Manual.
■ Major features
•Superior optical performance and rendering
• By enabling vibration reduction (VRII), slower shutter
characteristics are maximized with the use of three
speeds (approximately four stops*) can be used, thus
aspherical lens elements and two extra-low
increasing the range of usable shutter speeds and
dispersion (ED) glass elements, which ensure
zoom positions, particularly when hand-holding the
correction of chromatic aberration. In addition, the

and use.)
• It is possible to switch between NORMAL mode,
which reduces effects of camera shake under normal
shooting conditions, and ACTIVE mode, which
reduces effects of more noticeable camera shake
such as that which occurs when taking pictures from
a moving vehicle.
In NORMAL mode, the camera automatically
distinguishes camera shake from panning motion to
reduce the effects of camera shake with horizontal or
vertical panning.
