Continued operation could result in fi re or injury. After removing the battery, take the equipment to a Nikon authorized service center for inspection. Do not use in the presence of fl ammable gas. Operating electronic equipment in the presence of fl ammable gas could result in explosion or fi re. Do not look at the sun through the lens or the camera viewfi nder.

Attachment and Removal

See the camera manual. Be sure to turn the camera off before attaching or removing the lens, and be sure that the lens is retracted and the cover closed before removal (Figure 2).

Using the Lens

This retractable lens features power extension/retraction and electric power drive zoom. When the camera is turned on, the lens cover opens and the lens extends automatically (Figure 3); when the camera is turned off, the lens cover closes and the lens retracts automatically (Figure 2). Zoom is controlled by rotating the zoom ring.

Using the Flash

Vignetting (shadows created where the lens obscures the fl ash) or loss of peripheral illumination may occur at some focus or shooting distances in photographs taken with a fl ash.

Other Settings

Use the camera to:

• Adjust aperture
• Control focus
• Choose a vibration reduction mode (NORMAL/ACTIVE/OFF). For information on the optical vibration reduction modes supported by the camera, see the camera manual.

Lens Care

• Keep the CPU contacts clean.
• Use a blower to remove dust and lint from the lens surfaces. 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.
• When the lens is not in use, attach the rear cap and ensure that the lens is retracted and the cover closed.
• 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 irreparable damage.
• Leaving the lens in extremely hot locations could damage or warp parts made from reinforced plastic.
• Do not touch the lens cover. Failure to observe this precaution could result in product malfunction.
