• This lens is equipped with the Internal Focusing (IF) system. As the
shooting distance decreases, the focal length also decreases.
• The distance scale does not indicate the precise distance between the
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.
• For more information, see page 236.

lock screw. For details on this procedure, contact your nearest Nikon
service center or representative office.
Changing the camera position
Approximate depth of field can be
