• Do not turn the camera off or remove the lens from the camera while
vibration reduction is operating. Failure to observe this note could
result in the lens sounding and feeling as if an internal component is
Jp
loose or broken when it is shaken. This is not a malfunction. Turn the
camera on again to correct this.

• With cameras featuring a built-in flash, vibration reduction does not
function while the built-in flash is charging.
De
• When using a tripod, set the vibration reduction ON/OFF switch to
ON to reduce the effect of camera shake. Nikon recommends the
Fr
switch be set to ON when using the camera on an unsecured tripod
head or with a monopod. But when camera shake is very slight, the
Es
vibration reduction function may conversely increase the effect of
camera shake by the movement of the system. In such a case, set the
Se
vibration reduction ON/OFF switch to OFF.

■ Setting the aperture
Use the camera to adjust the aperture setting.

■ Focusing, zooming, and depth of field
Before focusing, rotate the zoom ring to adjust the focal length until
It
the desired composition is framed. If your camera has a depth-of-field
preview (stop-down) button or lever, depth of field can be previewed
Ck
through the camera viewfinder.
• This lens is equipped with the Internal Focusing (IF) system. As the
Ch
shooting distance decreases, the focal length also decreases.
• The distance scale does not indicate the precise distance between the
Kr
subject and the camera. Values are approximate and should be used
only as a general guide. When shooting distant landscapes, depth of
field may influence operation and the subject may appear in focus at
a position that is closer than infinity.
