 Aperture stop-down button (one-touch preset

aperture operation)

• The lens aperture can be stopped down from maximum aperture

to a selected aperture by pressing the aperture stop-down

button. Pressing the button again fully opens the aperture.

Whether the aperture is stopped down or not, check the camera

viewfinder, or check the diaphragm from the front of the lens.

• Even at maximum aperture after canceling the aperture stop-

down, the preset aperture value is displayed on the camera body.

• When using the D3 or D300 camera, the aperture is stopped

down to a selected aperture automatically by pressing the

shutter release button, even when the aperture is fully open

(maximum aperture) before shooting. When the lens power or

the camera is turned off (including using auto meter off

function) after stopping down the lens aperture by pressing the

aperture stopdown button, the aperture stop-down is cancelled

and the diaphragm blades fully open to the maximum aperture.
