En

CAUTION

Do not disassemble

Touching the internal parts of the camera or lens could result in injury. Repairs should be performed only by qualified technicians. Should the camera or lens break open as the result of a fall or other accident, take the product to a Nikonauthorized service representative for inspection after unplugging the product and/or removing the battery.

Turn off immediately in the event of malfunction

Should you notice smoke or an unusual smell coming from the camera or lens, remove the battery immediately, taking care to avoid burns. Continued operation could result in injury. After removing or disconnecting the power source, take the product to a Nikon-authorized service representative for inspection.

Do not use the camera or lens in the presence of flammable gas

Operating electronic equipment in the presence of flammable gas could result in an explosion or fire.

Do not look at the sun through the lens or viewfinder

Viewing the sun or other strong light sources through the lens or viewfinder could cause permanent visual impairment.

Keep out of reach of children

Particular care should be taken to prevent infants from putting the batteries or other small parts into their mouths.

Observe the following precautions when handling the camera and lens

• Keep the camera and lens unit dry. Failure to do so could result in fire or electric shock.

• Do not handle or touch the camera or lens unit with wet hands. Failure to do so could result in electric shock.

• 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.

Thank you for purchasing the AF-S DX NIKKOR 35mm f/1.8G lens. DX Nikkor lenses are specially designed for use with Nikon digital-SLR (Nikon DX format) cameras, such as the D300 and D90. When mounted on Nikon DX format cameras, the lens picture angle is equivalent to approximately 1.5 × the focal length in 35mm format. Before using this lens, please read these instructions and refer to your camera's User's Manual.

Major features

• This lens employs a Silent Wave Motor to drive the focusing mechanism, making autofocusing smooth, silent and almost instantaneous. The focus mode switch (9) is provided for simple selection of autofocus (A) or manual focus (M) operation.
• More accurate exposure control is possible when this is mounted on a Nikon camera with 3D color matrix metering capability, because subject distance information is transferred from the lens to the camera.
• Superior optical performance and rendering characteristics are maximized with the use of one aspherical lens element. In addition, soft and pleasing blur characteristics in portions

of pictures that are out-of focus are achieved by the rounded diaphragm.

• Up to two Wireless Remote Speedlight SB-R200s can be mounted on the edge of the lens.

Using the lens

Mounting the lens on the camera

1 Turn the camera off.
2 Remove the rear lens cap. (Fig. D)
Align the mounting index 6 on the lens with the mounting index on the camera, and rotate the lens counterclockwise until it clicks into place. Be sure that the lens is in the correct position when the mounting index 6 is on the top of the lens.
4 Remove the front lens cap. (Fig. C)

Removing the lens from the camera

Turn the camera off.
Press and hold the lens release button on the camera while turning the lens clockwise.

Using the lens hood

Attaching the hood

Align the lens hood attachment index (either of two indexes) ③ on the hood with the lens hood mounting index ④ on the lens, and

turn the hood counterclockwise (as viewed when holding the camera with the lens facing away from you) until it clicks into place (Fig. B).

• Be sure that the lens hood mounting index is aligned with the lens hood setting index (- ) ②.
• If the lens hood is not correctly attached, vignetting may occur.
• To facilitate attachment or removal of the hood, hold it by the base (near the lens hood attachment index) rather than its outer edge.
• To store the lens hood, attach it in the reverse position.

Detaching the hood

Hold the lens hood by the base (near the lens hood attachment index) and turn clockwise, as viewed when holding the camera with the lens facing away from you, to detach.

■Focusing (Fig. A)

Set your camera's focus mode selector according to the chart below:

Camera focus mode	Lens' focus mode switch
	M/AM
AF	Autofocus with manual override	Manual focus (Focus assist is available.)
MF	Manual focus (Focus assist is available.)

For more information on camera focus modes, refer to your camera's User's Manual.

Autofocus with manual override (M/A mode)

1 Set the lens focus mode switch 9 to M/A.
2 Autofocus is enabled, but autofocus operation can be overridden by rotating the separate focus ring 5 while pressing the shutter-release button halfway, or by pressing the AF-ON button on the camera body of cameras so equipped.

Press the shutter-release button halfway or the AF-ON button once again to cancel manual focus and resume autofocus.

Setting the aperture

Use the camera to adjust the aperture setting.

The built-in flash and vignetting

• The built-in flash cannot be used over distances of less than 0.6m (2.0 ft.).
• To prevent vignetting, do not use the lens hood.
• Vignetting is the darkening of the corners around the image that occurs when the light emitted by the flash is obstructed by the lens hood, or lens barrel, depending on the shooting distance.

Lens care

• Be careful not to allow the CPU contacts ⑧ to become dirty or damaged.
• If the lens mount rubber gasket ⑦ is damaged, be sure to visit the nearest Nikonauthorized service representative for repair.
• Clean 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 the center to the outer edge, taking care not to leave traces or touch other parts of the lens.
• Never use organic solvent such as thinner or benzene to clean the lens, as this could cause damage, result in a fire, or cause health problems.
• NC filters are available to protect the front lens element. The lens hood also helps to protect the front of the lens.

• When storing the lens in its flexible lens pouch, attach both the front and rear lens caps.

• When the lens is mounted on a camera, do not pick up or hold the camera and lens by the lens hood.

• When the lens will not be used for an extended period of time, store it in a cool, dry place to prevent mold and rust. Be sure to 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 the lens. To avoid damage, never leave the lens in an excessively hot place.
