Should the camera or lens break open as the result of a fall or other accident, take the product to a Nikon-authorized 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.Jp

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.16

When mounted on Nikon DX format digital SLR cameras, such as the D300-Series and D7000, the lens’ picture angle becomes 83°-44° and its 35mm equivalent focal length is approx. 24-

Usable cameras and available functions There may be some restrictions or limitation for available functions. Refer to camera’s User’s Manual for details. Cameras Function Exposure mode VR AF

Thank you for purchasing the AF-S NIKKOR 16-35mm f/4G ED VR lens. Before using this lens, please read these instructions and refer to your camera's User's Manual. 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.

By enabling vibration reduction, slower shutter speeds (2.5 stops*) can be used, thus increasing the range of usable shutter speeds and zoom positions, 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.)

Superior optical performance and rendering characteristics are maximized with the use of three aspherical lens elements and two extra- low dispersion (ED) glass elements, which ensure correction of chromatic aberration. In addition, the rounded aperture produces soft and pleasing blur characteristics in portions of pictures that are out-of-focus.18

Focusing (Fig. A) Set your camera’s focus-mode selector according to the chart below: Autofocus with manual override (M/A mode)

Set the lens focus mode switch to M/A.

Autofocus is enabled, but autofocus operation can be overridden by rotating the separate focus ring 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. Getting good results with autofocus Refer to “Notes on using wide- or super wide-angle AF NIKKOR lenses” (P. 27).Jp

Autofocus with manual override Manual focus (Electronic rangefinder can be used.)

Manual focus (Electronic rangefinder can be used, except with the F-601 M/N6000*)

• Sold exclusively in the USA20

• 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 the camera is mounted on a tripod, set the vibration reduction ON/OFF switch to OFF. However, it is recommended that the switch be set to ON when using the camera on an unsecured tripod head or with monopod. Vibration reduction mode (Fig. B) Setting the vibration reduction ON/OFF switch 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. Notes on using vibration reduction

• 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.Jp

• If this lens is used with cameras that do not have the vibration reduction function (P.17), set the vibration reduction ON/OFF switch to OFF. With the Pronea 600i/6i camera, in particular, battery power may become quickly depleted if this switch is left ON. Focusing, zooming, and depth of field Before focusing, rotate the zoom ring to adjust the focal length until the desired composition is framed. If your camera has a depth-of-field preview (stopdown) 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 p. 156. 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 0.6 m (2.0 ft).

• To prevent vignetting, do not use the lens hood.

• For the latest information on vignetting with this lens, see the camera manual.

• Vignetting is the darkening of the corners around the image that occurs when the light emitted by the flash is obstructed by the lens barrel.22

Using the lens hood Lens hoods minimize stray light and protect the lens. Attaching the hood

• Be sure that the lens hood mounting index

) is aligned with the lens hood setting index

• To facilitate attachment or removal of the hood, hold it by the base (near the lens hood attachment index ( )) rather than its outer edge.

• If the lens hood is not correctly attached, vignetting may occur.

• To store the lens hood, attach it in the reverse position. 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: Screen AB C E EC-B EC-E

: 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 in24

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 macro- photography 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. Lens care

• Be careful not to allow the CPU contacts to become dirty or damaged.

• If the lens mount rubber gasket is damaged, be sure to visit the nearest Nikon-authorized 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 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.

• 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.Jp

• 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 parts of the lens. To avoid damage, never leave the lens in an excessively hot place. Standard accessories

Notes on using wide- or super wide-angle AF NIKKOR lenses In the following situations, autofocus may not perform as expected when shooting with wide- or super wide-angle AF NIKKOR lenses.

1. When the main subject in the focus

brackets is relatively small When a person standing in front of a distant background is positioned within the focus brackets, as shown in Fig. C, the background may be in focus, while the subject is out of focus.

2. When the main subject is a finely

patterned subject or scene When the subject is finely patterned or of low contrast, such as a field filled with flowers, as shown in Fig. D, focus may be difficult to acquire using autofocus. Responses to these types of situations (1) Focus on a different subject located at the same distance from the camera, apply focus lock, recompose, and shoot. (2) Set the camera’s focus mode to manual focus and focus manually on the subject. Refer to “Getting Good Results with Autofocus” in the camera’s User’s Manual.
