User manual NIKON AF-S VR MICRO-NIKKOR 105MM F 2.8 IF-ED

[. . . ] Do not handle or touch the unit with wet hands. When the lens will not be used for a long time, attach both front and rear lens caps and store the lens away from direct sunlight. Failure to do so could result in a fire, as the lens might focus sunlight onto an object. There may be some restrictions or limitation for available functions. [. . . ] 2 Vibration is reduced when the shutter release button is lightly pressed. Because vibration is reduced in the viewfinder, auto/manual focusing and exact framing of the subject are made easier. Wait until the image in the viewfinder stops vibrating before fully depressing the shutter release button after you have lightly pressed the shutter release button. If you move the camera in a wide arc when panning, vibration in the direction of that movement is not affected. For example, if you pan the camera horizontally, only vibration in the vertical direction is reduced, making smooth pans much easier. Due to the characteristics of the vibration reduction mechanism, the image in the viewfinder may become slightly blurred after releasing the shutter. Do not turn the camera power OFF or remove the lens from the camera while the vibration reduction mode is in operation. (Otherwise, the lens may emit a chattering noise if the camera is shaken. Turn the camera power ON again to correct this. ) · With F80-Series/N80-Series, F75-Series/N75-Series, F65-Seris/N65-Series, D200, D100, D70-Series and D50 cameras featuring a built-in flash, vibration reduction does not work while the built-in flash is recycling. However, set the switch to [ON] when using a tripod without securing the tripod head, or when using a monopod. With AF cameras featuring an AF start (AF-ON) button, such as D2-Series, D200, F6 and F5 models, vibration reduction will not operate even if the AF-ON button is depressed. The depth-of-field indicators % are engraved beside the distance index line &. At close distances, however, so little is in focus that it may be better to check the depth of field table (on page 86). If your camera has a depth of field preview button or lever, use it to check the depth of field in the viewfinder. The reproduction ratio is the relation between the size of the image recorded on film and the actual subject size. If, for example, the image on the focusing screen is onefifth the actual subject size, the reproduction ratio is 1:5. To photograph at a predetermined reproduction ratio, use the following procedure: 1 Manually turn the focus ring until the desired reproduction ratio scale $ number is aligned with the distance index line &. 2 Aim at the subject, then change your position, moving closer to or farther away from the subject, until the image in the viewfinder sharpens. To obtain the appropriate reproduction ratio for each focused distance, see the table on page 86. [. . . ] Other accessories may not be suitable for use with this lens. For details, carefully read your accessories instruction manual. 8 14 elements in 12 groups (1 ED glass and 1 Nano Crystal Coat-deposited lens elements) 23°20' [15°20' with Nikon digital cameras (Nikon DX format); 18°40' with IX240 system cameras] 1:10 to 1:1 (life-size) Output to camera body Nikon Internal Focusing (IF) system (utilizing an internal Silent Wave Motor); manually via separate focus ring Provided; two ranges available: Full (-0. 5m Lens-shift method using voice coil motors (VCMs) Graduated in meters and feet from 0.
