Memory Recall
Save a frequently-used focus position t
o the lens. The saved position can then be
quickly recalled.
Saving Focus Positions
• Focus on a subject at the desired distance and then press and hold the memory
set button. Anicon will be displayed in the camera monit
or if the operation is
successful.
• The operation can be performed in any focus mode.
• The stored distance is not reset when the camera is turned off.
• The stored distance is however reset when the lens is detached.
29
Memory Recall
Using Stored Focus Positions
Rotate the Fn ring to r
ecall the last-saved focus position. Normal auto- or manual
focus will be restored when the ring is released.
Pressing the Shutter-Release Button Halfway During
Memory Recall
How focus will respond if the shutt
er-release button is pressed halfway while the
Fn ring is rotated varies with the camera:
• Cameras other than the Z 5, Z fc, and Z 30: The camera will not refocus if the
shutter-release button is pressed halfway while the Fn ring is rotated, regardless
of the focus mode selected.
• Z 5, Z fc, and Z 30 cameras: In autofocus mode, the camera will refocus if
the shutter-release button is pressed halfway during memory recall. This can be
prevented by selecting [AF-ON only] for [AF activation] in the camera menus.

Using the Built-in Teleconverter: Notes
To ensure corr
ect exposure and prevent vignetting or other unintended results, do
not use the teleconverter switch while any of the following are in progress:
• Autofocus
• Vibration reduction
• Exposure
• Video recording
• AF fine-tuning
Focus Position
• Using the teleconverter switch after focusing may cause the focus position to
change. When shooting after using the t
eleconverter switch, be sure to refocus
before releasing the shutter.
• The focus position will also change if you use the teleconverter switch after
recalling a stored focus position. Store the focus position after operating the
teleconverter switch.

ALens Firmware Updat
es
Before updating the lens firmware, be sure the teleconverter switch is in the 1×
position. Firmware cannot be updated with the switch in the 1.4× position. Do
not operate the switch during firmware updates.

Using the Tripod Collar Ring
Attach tr
ipods to the lens tripod collar, not to the camera.
Attaching tripods to the lens tripod collar rather than to the camera allows the
camera to be rotated as described below to take pictures in "tall" or "wide"
orientation while a tripod is attached.
Loosen the tripod collar ring attachment screw (q).
36
Using the Tripod Collar Ring
1.
Rotate the camera, using the rotation indices for
reference (

Vibration Reduction (VR)
The lens supports vibration reduction. Vibration r
eduction settings can be
adjusted from the camera. See the documentation provided with the camera for
details.
Vibration reduction allows shutter speeds slower than would otherwise be the
case, expanding the range of shutter speeds available.
DVibration Reduction
• Due to the design of the vibration reduction system, the lens may rattle when
shaken. This does not indicate a malfunction.
•
To reduce blur caused by tripod shake, select [Normal] or [Sport] for the
on-camera vibration reduction option when the camera is mounted on a
tripod. Note, however, that depending on the type of tripod and shooting
conditions, there may be cases in which [Off] is the preferred option.
• [Normal] or [Sport] is recommended when the camera is mounted on a
monopod.
38
Vibration Reduction (VR)
Filters
The lens is designed for use without filters, and can be used without a filt
er
inserted under most conditions. In situations in which a filter is required, an
optional 46mm screw-on filter can be inserted in the slip-in filter holder as
described below.
Lift the slip-in filter holder tab, rotate it to
(q), and
remove the slip-in filt
er holder (w).
39
Filters
1.
Press the points on either side of the slip-in filter
holder and open the cover.
Insert a 46mm screw-on filter.
Depending on their shape, some filters cannot be used with the slip-in filter
holder. Use filter
s that fit the holder.

•
Slide the slip-in filter holder in until it clicks into place.
• Be sure the slip-in filter holder is securely latched.

AUsing Optional Filters
•
Using the lens with optional filters changes the focus position and may
change the indicated focus distance.
• When using memory recall, be sure to attach the filter before storing the
focus position.
AUsing an Optional C-PL460 Slip-in Circular Polarizing Filter
• The C-PL460 reduces unwanted reflections from glass, water, and other non-
metallic surfaces.
• It is used in place of the supplied slip-in filter holder.
43
Filters
• Before taking pictures, rotate the ring to control the reflections visible in the
shooting display.
• Using the lens with the C-PL460 changes the focus position and may change
the indicated focus distance.
• When using memory r
ecall, be sure to attach the filter before storing the
focus position.
• Do not leave the filter for long periods in direct sunlight or in locations that
are exposed to excessive humidity or high temperatures.
44
Filters
Precautions for Use
• Do not pick up or hold the lens or camera using only the lens caps or lens hood.
• Observe the following precautions while the lens is attached to the camera:
Be sure to suppor
t the lens when holding the camera. Failure to observe this
precaution could damage the lens and camera mounts.
Use a lens strap when carrying the camera with the lens attached. Using a
strap attached to the camera alone could damage the strap or the mounts on
the camera or lens, causing the camera or lens to fall.
• 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.
• Creases will form if the supplied lens cap (front cap) is folded, but this does not
prevent the cap from being used.
45
Precautions for Use
-
-
• Do not leave the lens in humid locations or in locations in which it may be
exposed to moisture. Rusting o
f 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.
• Nikon will not be held liable in the event that the lens is stolen or damaged
while a third-party anti-theft cable is attached to the security slot.
• Keep credit cards and other such magnetic storage devices away from the
camera and lens. Data stored on the device could be corrupted.
46
Precautions for Use
Lens Maintenance
• Removing dust is normally sufficient to clean the glass surfaces of the lens.
• When cleaning the fluorine-coated front lens element:
Smudges, fingerprints, and other oily stains can be removed using a so
ft,
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:
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.
• 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.
