For Your Safety CAUTIONS

• Do not disassemble. Touching the internal parts of the camera or lens could result in injury. In the event of malfunction, the product should be repaired only by a qualified technician. Should the product break open as the result of a fall or other accident, remove the camera battery and/or disconnect the AC adapter and then take the product to a Nikon-authorized service center for inspection.

• Turn the camera off immediately in the event of malfunction. Should you notice smoke or an unusual smell coming from the equipment, immediately unplug the AC adapter and remove the camera battery, taking care to avoid burns. Continued operation could result in fire or injury. After removing the battery, take the equipment to a Nikon- authorized service center for inspection.

• Do not use in the presence of flammable gas. Operating electronic equip- ment in the presence of flammable gas could result in explosion or fire.

• Do not look at the sun through the lens or the camera viewfinder. Viewing the sun or other bright light source through the lens or viewfinder could cause permanent visual impairment.

• Keep out of reach of children. Failure to observe this precaution could result in injury.

• Observe the following precautions when handling the lens and camera: - Keep the lens and camera dry. Failure to observe this precaution could result in fire or electric shock. - Do not handle the lens or camera with wet hands. Failure to observe this precaution could result in electric shock. - Keep the sun well out of the frame when shooting backlit subjects. Sunlight focused into the camera when the sun is in or close to the frame could cause a fire. - If the lens will not be used for an extended period, attach the front and rear lens caps and store the lens out of direct sunlight. If left in direct sunlight, the lens could focus the sun’s rays onto flammable objects, causing fire.

• Do not carry tripods with a lens or camera attached. You could trip or accidentally strike others, resulting in injury.

• Do not leave the lens where it will be exposed to extremely high temperatures, such as in an enclosed automobile or in direct sunlight. Failure to observe this precaution could adversely affect the lens’ internal parts, causing fire. Notice for Customers in Canada

Focus. If desired, autofocus can be over-ridden by rotating the lens focus ring while the shutter-release button is pressed halfway (or, if the camera is equipped with an AF-ON button, while the AF-ON button is pressed). To refocus using autofocus, press the shutter-release button halfway or press the AF-ON button again.16

■ Depth of Field The depth-of-field indicators on the lens show the approximate depth of field (see page 142 for more information). If the camera offers depth-of-field preview (stop down), depth of field can also be previewed in the viewfinder. Note that because this lens uses the Nikon Internal Focusing (IF) System, focal length decreases as the focus distance shortens. ■ Aperture Aperture is adjusted using camera controls. ■ Built-in Flash Units When using the built-in flash on cameras equipped with a built-in flash unit, remove the lens hood to prevent vignetting (shadows created where the end of the lens obscures the built-in flash).

■ The Lens Hood The lens hoods protect the lens and block stray light that would otherwise cause flare or ghosting. When attaching or removing the hood, hold it near the symbol on its base and avoid gripping it too tightly. Vignetting may occur if the hood is not correctly attached. The hood can be reversed and mounted on the lens when not in use. When the hood is reversed, it can be attached and removed by rotating it while holding it near the lock mark (

■ Focusing Screens The following cameras support a variety of focusing screens for use in different situations. : Recommended. {: Vignetting visible in viewfinder (photographs are not affected). —: Not compatible with camera. ( ): Figures in parentheses give the exposure compensation for center-weighted metering. Select “Other screen” for Custom Setting b6 (“Screen comp.”) when adjusting exposure compensation for the F6; note that with screens other than B or E, “Other screen” must be selected even when the value for exposure compensation is 0. Exposure compensation for the F5 can be adjusted using Custom Setting 18; see the camera manual for details. Empty cell: Not suited to use with this lens. Note that type M screens can however be used for photomicrography and macro photography at magnifications of 1 : 1 or higher.

• Do not pick up or hold the lens or camera using only the lens hood.

• Keep the CPU contacts clean.

• Should the rubber lens-mount gasket be damaged, cease use immediately and take the lens to a Nikon-authorized service center for repair.

• Use a blower to remove dust and lint from the lens surfaces. To remove smudges and fingerprints, apply a small amount of ethanol or lens cleaner to a soft, clean cotton cloth or lens- cleaning tissue and clean from the center outwards using a circular motion, taking care not to leave smears or touch the glass with your fingers.

• Never use organic solvents such as paint thinner or benzene to clean the lens.

• The lens hood or NC filters can be used to protect the front lens element.

• Attach the front and rear caps before placing the lens in its flexible pouch.

• If the lens will not be used for an extended period, store it in a cool, dry location to prevent mold and rust. Do not store in direct sunlight or with naphtha or camphor moth balls.

• Keep the lens dry. Rusting of the internal mechanism can cause irreparable damage.

• Leaving the lens in extremely hot locations could damage or warp parts made from reinforced plastic.

• Taking the lens from a warm to a cold environment or vice versa may cause damaging condensation inside and outside the lens. Place the lens in a sealed bag or plastic case before taking it across a temperature boundary. The lens can be taken from the bag or case once it has had time to adjust to the new temperature.20
