3. Introduction

Thank you for purchasing the AF-S NIKKOR 500mm f/4G ED VR/AF-S NIKKOR 600mm f/4G ED VR lens. These are high performance lenses featuring special Vibration Reduction (VR) and high-speed Internal Focusing (IF) mechanisms. They also employ a Silent (S) Wave Motor to drive the focusing mechanism. Focus preset is also provided.

Major features

- Two AF modes (p. 27)

Autofocus can be overridden by setting the focus mode switch to "A/M" or "M/A" and manually focusing with the focus ring.

M/A: Autofocus can be overridden by manually focusing with the focus ring. This mode should be used for fine-focusing.

A/M: Autofocus can be overridden by manually focusing with the focus ring, but focus ring detection sensitivity is lower than in M/A mode. Use this mode to avoid canceling the AF setting by unintentionally moving the focus ring.

- Limiting the range of autofocus (p. 28)

Focus time can be reduced by setting focusing limits.

For example, if a subject is at least 8 m (26.2 ft.) (AF-S 500mm)/10 m (32.8 ft.) (AF-S 600mm) away, set the focusing limit switch to - 8 m (AF-S 500mm)/ - 10 m (AF-S 600mm).

AF-L/MEMORY RECALL/AF-ON (p. 28-29)

Focus distances can be locked and saved during autofocus (AF-L) and then recalled by pushing the "MEMORY RECALL" button. Autofocus is restarted on the lens by setting switch to AF-ON.

Vibration reduction* (VR II) (p. 29-30)

NORMAL: Reduces camera shake during handheld shooting or use of a monopod. This mode allows pictures to be taken at shutter speeds approx. 4 stops slower than is possible with a non-VR lens, therefore expanding the range of shutter speed options and making handheld or monopod telephoto shooting much easier. Panning is also possible.

TRIPOD: Recommended mode to reduce camera shake when using a tripod. With a super-telephoto lens, camera shake may occur even when the camera is mounted on a tripod. TRIPOD mode reduces camera shake when shooting with a tripod, especially with shutter speeds between 1/15 and 1 sec. It also reduces image shake in the viewfinder.

  • Under Nikon measurement conditions. The effects of vibration reduction vary depending on individual and shooting conditions.

NIKON AF-S NIKKOR 500MM F-4G ED VR - Vibration reduction* (VR II) (p. 29-30) - 1

  • More accurate exposure control is possible when this is mounted on a Nikon camera having 3D Matrix Metering capability, because subject distance information is transferred from the lens to the camera body.
  • The use of three ED (extra-low dispersion) lens elements ensures sharp pictures virtually free of color fringing. Also, by utilizing a 9-blade diaphragm that produces a nearly circular aperture, out-of-focus images in front of or behind the subject are rendered as pleasing blurs.
  • The Nano Crystal Coat deposited on some of the lens elements ensures that fine, clear images can be reproduced under any shooting conditions, from the sunny outdoors to spotlighted interior scenes.
  • Meniscus glass, unlike existing flat glass, is used for the lens protective glass.
  • Closest focusing distances of 4m (13.1 ft) (AF) and 3.85m (12.6 ft) (MF) (AF-S 500mm)/5 m (16.4 ft) (AF) and 4.8m (15.7 ft) (MF) (AF-S 600mm).

Important!

  • Be careful not to hold the camera body when the lens is attached, as this may cause damage to the camera. Be sure to hold both the lens and camera when carrying.
  • Be sure to attach a 52mm screw-in filter to the slip-in filter holder.
  • Be careful not to soil or damage the CPU contacts.
  • AF-I/AF-S Teleconverters TC-14E/TC-14EII/TC-17EII/TC-20E/TC-20EII are usable.
  • When mounted on Nikon digital SLR (Nikon DX format) cameras, such as the D2-Series and D50, the following applies.

AF-S 500mm: the lens' picture angle is 3^20' and its 35mm equivalent focal length is approx. 750mm . (The lens' picture angle is 5^ at 35mm focal length.)

AF-S 600mm: the lens' picture angle is 2^40' and its 35mm equivalent focal length is approx. 900mm . (The lens' picture angle is 4^10' at 35mm focal length.)

  • If the lens mount rubber gasket is damaged, be sure to visit the nearest Nikon authorized dealer or service center for repair.

Fig. 8

Notes on using vibration reduction

  • 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.
  • Due to the characteristics of the vibration reduction mechanism, the image in the viewfinder may become blurred after releasing the shutter.
  • If you set the AF start (AF-ON) button (Fig. 4) to "ON" on the camera or the Focus operation button on the lens, vibration reduction will not operate.
  • Set the vibration reduction mode switch to "TRIPOD" to reduce camera shake and image shake in the viewfinder while using a tripod. Very slight camera shake may fail to activate the vibration reduction system. Conversely, the VR system may cause camera shake in the lens. In this case, vibration reduction should be turned off. When using a tripod with an untightened head or a monopod, select NORMAL mode.
  • When taking panning shots, be sure to set the vibration reduction mode switch (Fig. 8) to "NORMAL".
  • 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.
  • 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. This is not a malfunction. Turn the camera power ON again to correct this.)
  • With F80-Series/N80-Series, F75-Series/N75-Series, F65-Series/N65-Series, D300, D200, D100, D80, D70-Series, D50 and D40-Series cameras, vibration reduction does not work while the built-in flash is recycling.

8. Depth of field

  • Approximate depth of field can be determined by checking the depth-of-field scale. (Fig. 9)
  • If your camera has a depth of field preview (stopdown) button or lever, depth of field can be observed while looking through the camera viewfinder.
    For more information, see p. 216.

9. Setting the aperture

NIKON AF-S NIKKOR 500MM F-4G ED VR - Setting the aperture - 1
Fig. 9

  • Because this lens does not have an aperture ring, you must set the aperture on the camera.

10. Built-in rotating tripod collar

  • When shooting vertical pictures, loosen the tripod collar lock screw by turning it counterclockwise, rotate the lens to an appropriate position, then tighten the screw clockwise.
  • When holding the camera by its handgrip and rotating the camera with the lens in its tripod collar, your hand may bump into the tripod, depending on the tripod in use.

■ Monopod (supplied accessory)

  • The tripod collar can be exchanged for a monopod collar by removing the tripod collar lock screw.
  • After changing the tripod collar, make sure the screw is fully tightened. Failure to fully tighten the screw could lead to accidents or damage to the lens and camera.

For details on this procedure, contact your nearest Nikon service center or representative office.

11. Lens hood HK-34 (AF-S 500mm)/HK-35 (AF-S 600mm) (AF-S 500mm: HK-34)

  • Tighten the lens hood screw securely when using the lens hood.
  • To store the hood, place it in the reverse position and tighten the screw securely.

(AF-S 600mm: HK-35-1/HK-35-2)

Two-part lens hoods (HK-35-1 for attachment to the front of the lens and HK-35-2 for attachment to the front of HK-35-1) are provided.

Using the HK-35-1: First, loosen the lens hood screw on the HK-35-1, slip HK-35-1 onto the front of the lens, then tighten the screw.

Attaching the HK-35-2: Loosen the lens hood screw on the HK-35-2, slip HK-35-2 onto the front of the HK-35-1, then tighten the screw.

Storing the lens hoods: First, reverse the HK-35-2, and slip it back onto the HK-35-1. Then reverse the HK-35-1 with the HK-35-2 attached, and slide both

back onto the front of the lens.

12. Slip-in filter holder

  • Always use a (52mm screw-in) filter. A 52mm screw-in NC filter is attached to the filter holder when shipped from the factory.

Screw a filter into the side of the filter holder marked with the words "Nikon" and "JAPAN". (Fig. 10)

NIKON AF-S NIKKOR 500MM F-4G ED VR - Slip-in filter holder - 1

NIKON AF-S NIKKOR 500MM F-4G ED VR - Slip-in filter holder - 2
Fig. 10

Press down on the slip-in filter holder knob, and turn counterclockwise until the white line on the knob is at a right angle to the axis of the lens.

  • The slip-in filter holder can be attached either facing lens or camera side without having any effect on your pictures.

C-PL1L slip-in circular polarizing filter (optional)

  • Blocks reflections from nonmetallic surfaces such as glass and water
  • The focus point of a C-PL1L slip-in circular polarizing filter differs from that of a 52mm screw-in filter. The distance scale is shifted from the correct position. The closest focused distance is extended slightly.
  • The memory set position may change slightly when using focus preset. Attach the C-PL1L filter before using the memory recall function.

Various interchangeable focusing screens are available for certain Nikon SLR cameras to suit any picture-taking situation. The ones recommended for use with this lens are:

( ): Indicates degree of exposure compensation needed (Center-Weighted metering only). For F6 cameras, compensate by selecting "Other screen" in Custom Setting "b6: Screen comp." and setting the EV level to -2.0 to +2.0 in 0.5 EV steps. When using screens other than type B or E, "Other screen" must be selected even when the required compensation value is "0" (no compensation required). For F5 cameras, compensate using Custom Setting #18 on the camera body. For F4-Series cameras, compensate using the Exposure Compensation Dial for the focusing screen.

See instruction manual of the camera body for more details.

Blank box means not applicable. Since type M screen can be used for both macrophotography at a 1:1 magnification ratio and for photomicrography, it has different applications than other screens.

  • For F5 cameras, only EC-B, EC-E, B, E, J, A, L focusing screens are usable in Matrix Metering.
  • When using the B and E focusing screens in cameras other than those listed above, refer to the columns for the B and E screens.

14. Lens care

  • 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.
  • When the lens is not in use, attach the lens cap to protect the front lens element.
  • When storing the lens in its lens case, attach both front and rear caps.
  • When the lens will not be used for a long time, store it in a cool, dry place to prevent mold. Also store the lens away from direct sunlight or chemicals such as camphor or naphthalene.
  • Do not get water on the lens or drop it in water as this will cause it to rust and malfunction.
  • Reinforced plastic is used for certain parts of the lens. To avoid damage, never leave the lens in an excessively hot place.
