Nikon NIKKOR AF-S DX User manual

  • Hello! I've reviewed the user manual for the Nikon AF-S DX NIKKOR 18-200mm f/3.5-5.6G ED VR II lens. This manual covers various aspects of the lens, including its vibration reduction feature with NORMAL and ACTIVE modes, focusing, zooming, and lens care. I'm ready to answer your questions about this lens.
  • What is the purpose of the VRII feature?
    When should I use the ACTIVE mode?
    What is the purpose of the zoom lock switch?
    How do I clean the lens?

Thank you for purchasing the
AF-S
OX
NIKKOR
18-200mm f/3.5-5.6G
EO
VR
II
lens.
OX
NIKKOR
lenses are specially
designed for
use
with
Nikon digital-SLR (Nikon OX-format) cameras, such
as
the 0300-series and 090. When
mounted
on Nikon OX-format cameras,
the
lens picture angle
is
equivalent
to
approximately
l.5x
the focal length
in
35mm
format. Before using this lens, please read these instructions and refer
to
your camera's
User's
Manual.

•Majorfeatures
•
By
enabling vibration reduction (VRII), slower shutter
speeds (approximately four stops*) can be used, thus
increasing the range
of
usable shutter speeds and
zoom positions, particularly
when
hand-holding the
camera.
(*Based
on results achieved under Nikon
measurement conditions. The effects
of
vibration
reduction may vary according
to
shooting conditions
and
use.)
•It
is
possible
to
switch between
NORMAL
mode,
which reduces effects
of
camera shake under normal
shooting conditions, and
ACTIVE
mode, which
reduces effects
of
more noticeable camera shake
such
as
that which occurs
when
taking pictures from
amoving vehicle.
In
NORMAL
mode, the camera automatically
distinguishes camera shake from panning
motion
to
reduce the effects
of
camera shake
with
horizontal or
vertical panning.
•Superior optical performance and rendering
characteristics are maximized
with
the
use
of
three
asphericallens elements and
two
extra-low
dispersion
(EO)
glass elements, which ensure
correction
of
chromatic aberration.
In
addition, the
rounded aperture produces soft and pleasing blur
characteristics in portions
of
pictures
that
are
out-of-
focus.
•
Focusing,
zooming,
and
d~th
offield
Before focusing, rotate
the
zoom ring
C§)
to
adjust the
focal length until the desired composition
is
framed.
If
your camera
has
adepth-of-field preview (stop-
down)
button
or
lever,
depth
of
field
can
be previewed
through
the
camera viewfinder.
•This lens
is
equipped
with
the Nikon 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
approximateand should be used only
as
ageneral
gUide. When shooting distant landscapes,
depth
of
field may influence operation
so
thatthe camera may
focus at aposition
that
is
closer than infinity.
•When the zoom lock switch @
is
set
to
LOCK
position at the focal
length
of
18mm,thezoom ring
is
locked, When carrying the camera, lockthezoom ring
to
prevent the lens
from
extending due
to
its
own
weight.
•Setting the aperture
Use
the
camera
to
adjust the aperture setting.
•Variable maximum apertures
Zooming
the
lens from
18mm
to
200mm decreases the
maximum
aperture by 1
1/
3stop.
However, there
is
no need
to
adjust the aperture
setting
to
achieve correct exposures because
the
camera automatically compensates for this variable.

•Vibration reduction mode (VRII)
Basic
concept behind vibration reduction
Set
the vibration reduction mode switch
to
NORMAL.
o
Set
the
vibration reduction mode switch
to
ACTIVE.
Setting
the
vibration reduction ON/OFF
switch (Fig.
B)
ON:
The effects
of
camera
shake
are reduced
while
the
shutter- release
button
is
pressed
halfwayand also atthe instant
the
shutter
is
released. Because vibration
is
reduced
in
the
viewfinder, auto/manual focusing and
exact framing
of
the subject
are
easier.
OFF:
The effects
of
camera
shake
are
not
reduced.
Setting
the
vibration reduction
mode
switch
(Fig.
C)
Set
the
vibration reduction ON/OFF switch
to
ON and
choose avibration reduction mode with
the
vibration
reduction
mode
switch.
NORMAL:
The vibration reduction mechanism
primarily reduces the effects
of
camera
shake. The effects
of
camera shake
are
also
reduced
with
horizontal and vertical
panning.
ACTIVE:
The vibration reduction mechanism
reduces
the
effects
of
camera shake, such
as
that
which
occurs when taking pictures
from a
moving
vehicle,
whether
it be
normal
or
more intense camera shake.
In
this mode, camera
shake
is
not
automatically distinguished
from
panning
motion.

Notes on using vibration reduction
•After pressing the shutter-release
button
halfway,
wait until the image
in
the viewfinder stabilizes
before pressing the shutter-release
button
the rest
of
the way down.
•Due
to
the characteristics
of
the vibration reduction
mechanism, the image
in
the viewfinder may be
blurred after the shutter
is
released. This
is
not
a
malfunction.
•When taking panning shots, be sure
to
set the
vibration reduction mode switch
to
NORMAL.
Ifthe camera
is
panned
in
awide
arc,
compensation
for camera
shake
in
the panning direction
is
not
performed.
For
example, only the effects
of
vertical
camera
shake
is
reduced
with
horizontal panning.
•Do
not
turn the camera
off
or remove
the
lens frorn
the
camera while vibration reduction
is
operating.
Failure
to
observe this note could result
in
the
lens
sounding and feeling
as
if
an
internal
component
is
loose or broken when it
is
shaken. This
is
not
a
malfunction.Turn the camera on again
to
correct this.
•With cameras featuring abuilt-in flash, vibration
reduction does notfunction while the built-in flash
is
charging.
•With autofocus cameras featuring
an
AF-ON
button,
vibration reduction does
not
function even when the
AF-ON
button
is
pressed.
II
•When the camera
is
mounted
on atripod,
set
the
vibration reduction ON/OFF switch @
to
OFF.
However, set the switch
to
ON
when using atripod
without
securing the tripod head, or when using a
monopod.

•The built-in flash and vignetting
•The
built-in
flash
cannot
be
used over distances
of
less
than
0.6 m(2.0 ft.).
•To
prevent
vignetting,
do
not
use
the
lens
hood.
*
Vignetting
is
the
darkening
of
the
corners
around
the
image
that
occurs
when
light
emitted
by
the
flash
is
obstructed
by
the
lens
hood,
or
by
the
lens barrel
depending
upon
the
focal
length
or
shooting
distance.

and
greater.
Vignetting
occurs
at afocal
length
of
18mm.
•Using
the
lens hood
The lens
hood
blocks
light
rays
that
have
harmful
effects
on
pictures. It also helps
to
protect
the
glass
surface
of
the
lens.
Attaching the hood
•
To
facilitate
attachment
or
removal
of
the
hood,
hold
it
by
the
lens
hood
attachment
index
(r)
rather
than
its
outer
edge.
•
If
the
lens
hood
is
not
correctly
attached,
vignetting
may
occur.
•
The
lens can
be
stored
with
the
lens
hood
attached
in
the
reverse
position.
•
Lens
care
•
Be
careful
not
to
allow
the
CPU
contacts @
to
become
dirty or damaged.
•
If
the
lens
mount
rubber gasket @
is
damaged, be
sure
to
visit the nearest Nikon-authorized service

in
acircular
motion
from
the
center
to
the
outer edge, taking care
not
to
leave traces or
touch
other
parts
of
the
lens.
•Never
use
organic solvent such
as
thinner
or
benzene
to
clean
the
lens,
as
this could cause damage, result in
afire, or cause health problems.
•
NC
filters are available
to
protect the
front
lens
element.The lens
hood
also helps
to
protect
the
front
of
the
lens.
•When storing the lens in its flexible lens pouch,attach
both
the
front and rear lens caps.
•When
the
lens
is
