■ Major features

  • The Nano Crystal Coat deposited on some of the lens elements ensures that fine, clear images can be reproduced under various shooting conditions, from the sunny outdoors to spotlighted interior scenes.
  • This lens features AF-L, which locks focus during autofocus, AF-ON, which activates autofocus, and MEMORY RECALL, which saves and recalls selected focus distances.
  • By enabling vibration reduction, slower shutter speeds (3 stops*) can be used, thus increasing the range of usable shutter speeds, particularly when hand-holding the camera. (*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.)
  • AF-I/AF-STeleconvertersTC-14E/TC-14E II/TC-14E III/TC-17E II/TC-20E/TC-20E II/TC-20E III are usable.

Important

- When mounted on Nikon DX format digital SLR cameras, such as the D300-Series and D7000, the lens' angle of view becomes 8^ and its 35mm equivalent focal length is approx. 300mm.

text_image ① Nikon N ② VR VR OFF ON

ON: The effects of camera shake are reduced while the shutter-release button is pressed halfway and also at the 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

Set the vibration reduction ON/OFF ring switch to ON and choose a vibration reduction mode with the vibration reduction mode switch.

NIKON Nikkor AFS 200mm f2G ED VR II - Setting the vibration reduction mode switch - 1

text_image VR NORMAL ACTIVE

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

  • If this lens is used with cameras that do not have the vibration reduction function (pg. 20), set the vibration reduction ON/OFF ring switch to OFF. With the Pronea 600i/6i camera, in particular, battery power may become quickly depleted if this switch is left ON.
  • 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. If the camera is panned in a wide 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 from 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 a built-in flash, vibration reduction does not function while the built-in flash is charging.
  • When using a tripod, set the vibration reduction ON/OFF ring switch to ON to reduce the effect of camera shake. Nikon recommends the switch be set to ON when using the camera on an unsecured tripod head or with a monopod. But when camera shake is very slight, the

vibration reduction function may conversely increase the effect of camera shake by the movement of the system. In such a case, set the vibration reduction ON/OFF ring switch to OFF.

■ Depth of field

NIKON Nikkor AFS 200mm f2G ED VR II - ■ Depth of field - 1

text_image ft 70 40 25 m ∞ 20 12 8 22 22 Depth- of-field indicators Distance index line

Approximate depth of field can be dete mined by checking the depth-of-field indicators. If your camera has a depth-of field preview (stop-down) button or lever, depth of field can be previewed through the camera viewfinder.

  • This lens is equipped with the 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 approximate and should be used only as a general guide. When shooting distant landscapes, depth of field may influence operation and the subject may appear in focus at a position that is closer than infinity.
  • For more information, see page 236.

■ Setting the aperture

Use the camera to adjust the aperture setting.

■ Using a built-in rotating tripod collar

When using a tripod, attach it to the lens' tripod collar instead of the camera.

  • 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.
  • It's possible to detach the tripod collar by removing the tripod collar lock screw. For details on this procedure, contact your nearest Nikon service center or representative office.

Slip-in Circular Polarizing Filter C-PL3L (optional)

  • Blocks reflections from nonmetallic surfaces such as glass and water.
  • When a Slip-in Circular Polarizing Filter C-PL3L is attached, the focus distance is different from when a 52mm screw-on filter is attached. 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-PL3L filter before using the memory set 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:

ScreenCameraABCEEC-BEC-EG1G2G3G4JLMU
F6
F5+DP-30
F5+DA-30○(+0.5)

◎ : Excellent focusing
○: Acceptable focusing

Slight vignetting or moiré patterns appear in the viewfinder, but not on the film.

- : Not available

( ) : 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. See user's 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 magnification ratio of 1:1 or above and for photomicrography, it has different applications than other screens.

Important

- For F5 cameras, only EC-B, EC-E, B, E, J, A, L focusing screens are usable in Matrix Metering.
