1. Introduction

Thank you for purchasing the AF-S VR Zoom-Nikkor 70-300mm f/4.5-5.6G IF-ED lens. This is a high-performance zoom lens featuring special Vibration Reduction and high-speed Internal Focusing (IF) mechanisms. It also employs a Silent (S) Wave Motor to drive the focusing mechanism.

■ Major features

• Pictures can be taken at shutter speeds 2.5 stops* slower than is possible without using a VR lens, thus expanding the range of usable shutter speed options and making shooting without a tripod at various zoom settings much easier. (*The effects of VR on shutter speed are measured according to Camera and Imaging Products Association (CIPA) standards; FX-format lenses are measured using FX-format digital cameras, DX-format lenses using DX-format cameras. Zoom lenses are measured at maximum zoom.)
• Two vibration reduction modes are available: (1) the [NORMAL] mode for reducing camera shake, and (2) the [ACTIVE] mode for reducing camera shake when taking pictures from a moving vehicle.
• Panning is also possible, as the lens automatically distinguishes panning from camera shake (in [NORMAL] mode) and vibration reduction works effectively.
• Autofocus (A) or manual (M) mode can easily be selected with the Focus mode switch.
• Autofocusing with manual override is provided, allowing instant change from autofocusing to manual focusing.
• 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 two 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.

■ Important

• Be careful not to soil or damage the CPU contacts ⑫.
• When mounted on Nikon DX format digital SLR cameras, such as the D300-Series and D7000, the lens' picture angle becomes 22^50' - 5^20' and its 35mm equivalent focal length range is approx. 105mm -450mm.
• If the lens mount rubber gasket ⑪ is damaged, be sure to visit the nearest Nikon authorized dealer or service center for repair.

2. Focusing

Set your camera's focus mode selector according to this chart.

* Sold exclusively in the USA.

■ Autofocus with manual override (M/A mode)

1 Set the Focus mode switch ⑰ to [M/A].

Note: Be sure to set the switch so that the indicator aligns with [M/A] precisely.

2Autofocus is provided, but you can manually override the focus by operating the separate Focus ring ⑧while

lightly depressing the shutter release button or the AF start (AF-ON) button on the camera.

3To cancel manual override, again lightly depress the shutter release button or the AF start button on the camera. This will return the camera to autofocus mode.

■ Infrared compensation

With infrared film, manual compensation must be made to the focused distance. First, focus manually on the subject. Rotate the focus ring ⑧ to realign the distance scale referring to the table below. Attach a red (R60) filter for infrared photography, and then shoot.

Focal length		Compensation from distance index line 14
70 mm	Shift the distance scale to the infrared compensation index 13. (3.9 mm)
100 mm	1.6 mm
135 mm	0.7 mm
200 mm	0.2 mm
300 mm	0 mm(No compensation is necessary)

3. Vibration reduction mode

■ Basic concept of vibration reduction

Set the vibration reduction mode switch to [NORMAL].

☐ Set the vibration reduction mode switch to [ACTIVE].

When taking pictures

Set the vibration reduction mode switch to either [NORMAL] or [ACTIVE]

When taking panning shots

Set the vibration reduction mode switch to [NORMAL].

When taking pictures from a moving vehicle

Set the vibration reduction mode switch to [ACTIVE].

■ The effects of vibration reduction

Pictures can be taken at shutter speeds 2.5 stops* slower than is possible without using a VR lens.(*The effects of VR on shutter speed are measured according to Camera and Imaging Products Association (CIPA) standards; FX-format lenses are measured using FX-format digital cameras, DX-format lenses using DX-format cameras. Zoom lenses are measured at maximum zoom.)

■ Setting the vibration reduction ON/OFF switch

1 Set the Vibration reduction ON/OFF switch ⑯ to [ON]. Note: Be sure to set the switch so that the indicator aligns with [ON] precisely.

2Vibration 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.

3To cancel the vibration reduction mode, set the Vibration reduction ON/OFF switch ⑯to [OFF].

■Setting the vibration reduction mode switch ⑮

NORMAL: The vibration reduction mechanism primarily reduces camera shake, making smooth panning shots possible.

ACTIVE: The vibration reduction mechanism reduces camera shake when taking pictures and those from a moving vehicle. In this mode, the lens does not automatically distinguish panning from camera shake. Note: Be sure to set the switch so that the indicator aligns with [NORMAL] or [ACTIVE] precisely.

Indicator ON VR OFF 16

Indicator NORMAL ACTIVE 15

■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.
• When taking panning shots, be sure to set the vibration reduction mode switch 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.

• Due to the characteristics of the vibration reduction mechanism, the image in the viewfinder may become blurred after releasing the shutter. This is not a malfunction.

• 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 cameras featuring a built-in flash, vibration reduction does not function while the built-in flash is charging.
• When the lens is mounted on a tripod, set the vibration reduction ON/OFF switch ⑯ to [OFF]. However, set the switch to [ON] when using a tripod without securing the tripod head, or when using a monopod.

4. Focusing, zooming, and depth of field (p.108)

First turn the zoom ring ⑤ until the desired composition is framed in the viewfinder before focusing. If your camera has a depth of field preview (stop-down) button or lever, depth of field can be observed while looking through the camera viewfinder.

- The distance scale does not indicate the precise distance between the subject and the camera. Values are approximate and should be used only as a general guide.

5. Variable maximum apertures

Zooming the lens from 70mm to 300mm decreases the maximum aperture approx. 2/3 of an f/stop. For cameras with TTL metering, there is no need to adjust the aperture. Likewise, for TTL auto flash photography with Nikon Speedlights, no adjustment is required. When using a separate exposure meter or taking photographs in the non-TTL flash mode, select the appropriate aperture value according to the focal length setting as displayed on the camera.

6. Setting the aperture

Set the aperture on the camera body.

7. Using bayonet hood HB-36 ①

■ Attaching the hood

Align the lens hood attachment index ( )②on the hood (either one of the two indexes) with the lens hood mounting index ④on the lens, and turn the hood ①clockwise 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 is not correctly attached, vignetting can occur.
• To facilitate attachment or removal of the hood, hold it by its base (around the lens hood attachment index) rather than its outer edge.
• To store the lens hood, attach it in the reverse position.

■ Detaching the hood

While holding the base of the hood (near the lens hood attachment index) rather than its outer edge, turn it counterclockwise to detach.

8. Flash pictures using cameras with a built-in flash

To prevent vignetting, do not use a lens hood ①.

9. Recommended focusing screens

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:

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.

- 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.

10. 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.
• 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 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.

11. Standard accessories

• 67mm snap-on front lens cap LC-67 • Rear lens cap
• Bayonet hood HB-36
