[. . . ] When shooting with back-lighting, do not point the lens at the sun or allow sunlight to pass directly down the lens as this may cause the camera to overheat and possibly cause a fire. ⷠWhen the lens will not be used for an extended period of 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 may focus sunlight onto a flammable object. Pictures can be taken at shutter speeds approx. [. . . ] This lens employs a Silent Wave Motor to drive the focusing mechanism, making autofocusing smooth, silent and almost instantaneous. More accurate exposure control is possibe because subject distance information is transferred from the lens to the camera body. ⷠThe use of one ED (extra-low dispersion) lens element ensures sharp pictures virtually free of color fringing. Also, by utilizing a 7-blade diaphragm that produces a nearly circular aperture, out-offocus images in front of or behind the subject are rendered as pleasing blurs. 3 Keeping the mounting index 9 on the lens aligned with the mounting mark on the camera body, rotate the lens counterclockwise until it clicks into place. Be sure to turn the camera off when removing the lens. Align the lens hood attachment index ( ) 2 on the hood (either one of the two indexes) with the lens hood mounting index 4 on the lens, and turn the hood 1 clockwise until it click stops to secure. ⷠMake sure that the lens hood mounting index 4 aligns with the lens hood setting index ( ) 3. ⷠIf the lens hood 1 is not correctly attached, vignetting can occur. ⷠTo facilitate attachment or removal of the hood 1, hold it by its base (around the lens hood attachment index 2) rather than its outer edge. While holding the base of the hood (near the lens hood attachment index 2) rather than its outer edge, turn it counterclockwise to detach. (Otherwise, the lens may emit a chattering noise if the camera is shaken. Turn the camera power ON again to correct this. ) · With cameras (such as D300-Series and D60 models) 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 and D300-Series models, vibration reduction will not operate even if the AF-ON button is depressed. However, there is no need to adjust the aperture for correct exposures because the camera automatically compensates for this variation. Taking flash pictures using cameras with a built-in flash Vignetting is the darkening of the corners around the image that occurs when the light emitted from the flash is obstructed by the lens hood, or lens barrel depending on the focal length or shooting distance. Usable focal length / Shooting distance No vignetting occurs at any focal length Clean the lens surfaces with a blower brush. To remove dirt and smudges, use a soft, clean cotton cloth or lens tissue moistened with ethanol (alcohol) or lens cleaner. Wipe in a circular motion from center to outer edge, taking care not to leave traces or touch other parts of the lens. ⷠNever use thinner or benzene to clean the lens, as this might damage it, result in a fire or cause health problems. [. . . ] ⷠNever use thinner or benzene to clean the lens, as this might damage it, result in a fire or cause health problems. ⷠTo protect the front lens element, an NC filter is available. A lens hood 1 also helps protect the front of the lens. ⷠWhen storing the lens in its flexible lens pouch, attach both the front and rear lens caps. [. . . ]
