A/M and M/A Modes
• M/A (manual priority): Autofocus can be instantly over-ridden by rotating
the lens focus ring.
• A/M (AF priority): As above, except that the focus ring must be rotated far-
ther before autofocus is over-ridden. Choose this option to place greater
dependence on autofocus.
Autofocus with Manual Override
To use manual focus in autofocus mode:
z
Slide the lens focus-mode switch to A/M or M/A.
x
Focus.
When the camera is in autofocus mode, autofocus can be over-
ridden by rotating the lens focus ring while the shutter-release
button is pressed halfway (or, if the camera is equipped with an
AF-ON button, while the AF-ON button is pressed). To refocus using
autofocus, press the shutter-release button halfway or press the
AF-ON button again.
Before focusing, turn the camera on or restart the standby timer by pressing
the shutter-release button halfway. If the camera is off or the standby timer
has expired, focus cannot be adjusted using the focus ring and rotating the
zoom ring will cause the subject to go out of focus. Choose longer standby
times for optimal results when using manual focus.
Users of D4-series, D3-series, D810-series, D800-series, Df, D700, D300-series,
D7200, D7100, D7000, or D5200 cameras should note that if the standby
timer is allowed to expire, the focus position will change when the timer is
restarted. Refocus before shooting. Longer standby times are recommend-
ed in situations in which you may not release the shutter immediately after
focusing.
■ Zoom
Before focusing, rotate the zoom ring to adjust the focal length and frame
the photograph.
■ Depth of Field
Depth of fi eld can be previewed using the camera’s depth-of-fi eld preview feature.
■ Aperture
Aperture is adjusted using camera controls. The frame rate may drop at some
apertures.
■ Built-in Flash Units
• When using the built-in fl ash on cameras equipped with a built-in fl ash
unit, remove the lens hood to prevent vignetting.
• The focal lengths at which built-in fl ash units can be used vary with the
camera; see the camera manual. Peripheral illumination may drop if built-
in fl ash units are used at shorter focal lengths.
■ Vibration Reduction (VR)
Vibration reduction ( VR) reduces blur caused by camera shake, allowing
shutter speeds up to 4.5 stops slower than would otherwise be the case,
increasing the range of shutter speeds available. The eff ects of VR on shutter
speed are measured in NORMAL mode according to Camera and Imaging
Products Association (CIPA) standards; FX-format lenses are measured us-
ing FX-format digital cameras, DX-format lenses using DX-format cameras.
Zoom lenses are measured at maximum zoom.
Using the Vibration Reduction Switch
• Select OFF to turn vibration reduction off .
• Select NORMAL for enhanced vibration reduction when pho-
tographing stationary subjects. Vibration reduction takes
eff ect when the shutter-release button is pressed halfway.
• Select SPORT for photographing athletes and other subjects that
are moving rapidly and unpredictably. Vibration reduction takes
eff ect when the shutter-release button is pressed halfway.
Using Vibration Reduction: Notes
• When using vibration reduction, press the shutter-release button halfway
and wait for the image in the viewfi nder to stabilize before pressing the
shutter-release button the rest of the way down.
• When vibration reduction is active, the image in the viewfi nder may jiggle
after the shutter is released. This does not indicate a malfunction.
• SPORT is recommended for panning shots, although NORMAL is also supported.
• In NORMAL and SPORT modes, vibration reduction applies only to motion
that is not part of a pan (if the camera is panned horizontally, for example,
vibration reduction will be applied only to vertical shake).
• Do not turn the camera off or remove the lens while vibration reduction is
in eff ect. If power to the lens is cut while vibration reduction is on, the lens
may rattle when shaken. This is not a malfunction, and can be corrected
by reattaching the lens and turning the camera on.
• If the camera is equipped with a built-in fl ash, vibration reduction will be
disabled while the fl ash charges.
• Vibration reduction is generally recommended when the camera is
mounted on a tripod, although you may prefer to turn it off depending on
shooting conditions and the type of tripod.
• We recommend enabling vibration reduction when using a monopod.
■ The Lens Hood
The lens hoods protect the lens and block stray light that would otherwise
cause fl are or ghosting.
Attaching the Hood
Align the lens hood mounting mark (
●
)
with the lens hood alignment mark ( )
and then rotate the hood (
w
) until the
●
mark is aligned with the lens hood
lock mark (—
).
When attaching or removing the hood, hold it near the symbol on its base
and avoid gripping it too tightly. Vignetting may occur if the hood is not correctly
attached. The hood can be reversed and mounted on the lens when not in use.
■ Lens Care
• The lens returns to maximum aperture when removed from the camera.
To protect the interior of the lens, store it out of direct sunlight or replace
the lens caps.
• Always support the lens when holding the camera. Failure to observe this
precaution could damage the lens mount.
• Do not pick up or hold the lens or camera using only the lens hood.
• Keep the CPU contacts clean.
• Should the rubber lens-mount gasket be damaged, cease use immedi-
ately and take the lens to a Nikon-authorized service center for repair.
• Removing dust is normally suffi cient to clean the glass surfaces of the
lens.
• To remove smudges and fi ngerprints, apply a small amount of ethanol or
lens cleaner to a soft, clean cotton cloth or lens-cleaning tissue and clean
from the center outwards using a circular motion, taking care not to leave
smears or touch the glass with your fi ngers.
• Never use organic solvents such as paint thinner or benzene to clean the
lens.
• The lens hood or Neutral Color (NC) fi lters can be used to protect the front
lens element.
• Attach the front and rear caps before placing the lens in its case.
• If the lens will not be used for an extended period, store it in a cool, dry
location to prevent mold and rust. Do not store in direct sunlight or with
naphtha or camphor moth balls.
• Keep the lens dry. Rusting of the internal mechanism can cause irrepa-
rable damage.
• Leaving the lens in extremely hot locations could damage or warp parts
made from reinforced plastic.
• Rapid changes in temperature may cause damaging condensation inside
and outside the lens. Before taking the lens from a warm to a cold environ-
ment or vice versa, place it in its case or a plastic bag to slow the change
in temperature.
