II TheAF-SDXNIKKOR 18-55mm f/3.5-5.6G VR
The AF-S DX NIKKOR 18-55mm
f/3.5-5.6G
VR is for use exclusively
with
Nikon
DX
format
digital
cameras.
In the case of the AF-S DX NIKKOR
18-55
mm f/3.5-5.6G
VR,
changes
to zoom
can alter
maximum
aperture
by up to 1 1/3 EV. The camera
however
automatically
takes this into account
when
setting
exposure,
and no modifications
to
camera
settings
are required
following
adjustments
to zoom.
Using the Built-in
Flash
When using the built-in
flash, be sure the subject is at a range of at least 0.6 m (2 ft) and
remove lens hoods to prevent
vignetting
(shadows created where the end of the lens
obscures
the built-in
flash).
Because the built-in
flash units for the DIO0 and D70 can only cover the angle of view of a
lens with a focal of 20 mm or more; vignetting
will occur at a focal length of 18 mm.

Lens Care
•
Keep the CPU contacts
clean.
•
Use a blower to remove
dust and lint from the lens surfaces. To remove smudges
and
fingerprints,
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 fingers.
•
Never use organic solvents such as paint thinner
or benzene to clean the lens.
• The lens hood or NC filters can be used to protect
the front lens element.
• Attach the front and rear caps before placing the lens in its flexible pouch.
• When a lens hood is attached,
do not pick up or hold the lens or camera using only the
hood.
•
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.
