VC MECHANISM (Ref. Figs.
,
The VC (Vibration Compensation) mechanism reduces image blur caused by hand-held shooting.
How to use VC (Ref. Fig.
)
⑪
When you use VC, set the VC switch
Press the shutter button halfway and con rm that the view nder image is stable before taking
a picture.
VC is effective under the following conditions
Dimly lit locations
•
Locations where ash photography is prohibited
•
Locations where tripod cannot be used
•
VC may not perform suf ciently under the following conditions
When a photograph is taken from a vehicle that is shaking greatly
•
Shooting during excessive movement of the camera
•
When shooting while using a tripod
•
⑪
Set the VC switch
to OFF when taking pictures with bulb photography (long exposures).
•
Otherwise, VC may cause a malfunction.
•
The view nder image may become blurred immediately after the shutter button is pressed
halfway. This is due to the principles of VC and not a malfunction.
⑪
•
When the VC switch
is set to ON, the total number of recordable images will reduce due to
power being consumed from the camera.
⑪
•
Set the VC switch
to OFF when you are shooting while the camera is secured by something
other than your hand (such as a tripod).
•
Do not remove the lens from the camera while VC is on. If the lens is removed while VC is on, the
lens may make a clicking sound if the lens is shaken. This is not a malfunction. If the lens is
installed on the camera, and the camera's power is switched on, the sound stops.
•
For Nikon cameras equipped with a built-in ash, VC will be turned off while the built-in ash is
charging.

LENS HOOD (Ref. Figs.
,
-
①
A bayonet-type lens hood
is provided as standard equipment.
We recommend shooting with the hood properly attached because the lens hood eliminates stray
light that may affect the picture.

•
Be aware that the perimeter of the photographed image may be darkened if the hood
attached properly.
PRECAUTIONS WHEN SHOOTING
An internal focusing (IF) system is employed to reduce the minimum focus distance. Because of
•
this, the angle of view may be wider than that of lenses using other focusing systems when
shooting at a distance less than in nity.
Always remove the hood when you use the built-in ash on the camera for ash photography.
•
Otherwise, the hood or lens may darken the perimeter of the image. With close-up photography,
the lens itself blocks the ash, and dark semicircle may appear at the bottom of the screen, even
when the lens hood is not used. For ash photography, we recommend that you use an external
ash unit recommended by the camera manufacturer.
Differences in the display systems of cameras may result in the display of values different from
•
the maximum and minimum aperture values in the speci cations. This is not an indication of an
error.

TO ENSURE LONG-TERM SATISFACTION
Remove dust and soiling on the lens by using a blower or soft brush. Do not touch the lens with
•
your ngers.
The lens surface of the front element has been coated to prevent water and oily substances from
•
adhering. Since it will repel water, do not use lens cleaners or other substances but only a dry
cloth to clean the front element.
To clean the lens surface of the rear element, lightly wipe it starting from the center with a
•
commercially available lens cleaning paper, a clean cotton cloth or a micro ber cloth (cleaning
cloth for glasses, etc.) soaked in lens cleaner. Do not use a silicone cloth.
Clean the lens barrel using a silicone cloth. Never use benzene, thinner, or other organic
•
solvents.
Mildew is a major problem for lenses. Store your lens in a clean, cool, and dry place. When you
•
store the lens in a lens case, store it with a commercially available drying agent and replace the
drying agent occasionally.
Do not touch the lens-camera interface contacts. If dust or stains cause contact problems,
•
signals are not transmitted properly between the lens and camera, and malfunctions may occur.
If the temperature changes suddenly, moisture may form within the camera and lens and cause
•
malfunctions. To prevent this, seal your equipment in a plastic bag or similar container. After your
equipment has adjusted to the ambient temperature, remove it from the bag and use it as usual.
