1. Introduction

Thank you for purchasing the AF-S NIKKOR 14-24mm f/2.8G ED lens. This is a high-grade, internal focusing (IF) lens employing a Silent Wave Motor to drive the focusing mechanism, thus the "S" designation. As a result, autofocusing is smooth, silent, and almost instantaneous.

■Major features

• 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 three aspherical and 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.
• 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.

■Important

Do not lift the lens, even when unmounted, by the lens cap. The lens cap can become detached, causing the lens or camera to fall.

• Be careful not to soil or damage the CPU contacts ⑩.
• When mounted on Nikon DX format digital SLR cameras, such as the D300-Series and D7000, the lens' picture angle becomes 90°–61° and its 35mm equivalent focal length range is approx. 21mm – 36mm.
• If the lens mount rubber gasket ⑨ 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 ⑪ to [M/A].

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

2 Autofocus is provided, but you can manually override the focus by operating the separate Focus ring ② while lightly depressing the shutter release button or the AF start (AF-ON) button on the camera.

3 To 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.

M/A M 11

■Getting good results with autofocus

Refer to "Notes on using wide or super-wide angle AF Nikkor lenses" (p. 122).

3. Focusing, zooming, and depth of field (p. 112)

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.

4. Setting the aperture

Set the aperture on the camera body.

5. Taking flash pictures with cameras having built-in flash

Vignetting occurs when using these cameras because the light emitted from the flash may be obstructed by the lens barrel.

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

Cameras Supported focal length/Shooting distance
D7100(1.3x crop of DX)	24 mm/3 m (9.8 ft) or greater
Other cameras Vignetting occurs at any shooting distance.

6. 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:

◎: Excellent focusing
○: Acceptable focusing

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

—: Not available.

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.

Note:

• For F6 cameras, when using screens other than type B or E, "Other screen" must be selected in Custom Setting. Refer to camera user's manual for details.
• For F5 cameras, only EC-B, EC-E, B, E, J, A, L focusing screens are usable in Matrix Metering.
• 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.

7. 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.
• When the lens is not in use, attach the lens cap to protect the front lens element.
• 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.
• Rapid changes in temperature may cause damaging condensation inside and outside the lens. Before taking the lens from a warm to a cold environment or vice versa, place it in a bag or plastic case to slow the change in temperature.

8. Standard accessories

- Slip-on front lens cap - Rear lens cap - Semi-soft case CL-M3

9. Incompatible accessories

• Teleconverters (all models) • Auto Ring BR-2A/BR-4 and all models of Auto Extension Ring PK, K Ring, Bellows focusing attachment and filter
• Attachment Ring SX-1

Other accessories may not be suitable for use with this lens. For details, carefully read your accessories user's manual.

Notes on using wide or super-wide angle AF Nikkor lenses

In the following situations, autofocus may not work properly when taking pictures using wide or super-wide angle AF Nikkor lenses.

1. When the main subject in the focus brackets is relatively small.

As shown in Fig. A (p. 122), when a person standing in front of a distant background is placed within the focus brackets, the background may be in focus, while the subject is out of focus.

1. When the main subject is a small, patterned subject or scene.

As shown in Fig. B (p. 123), when the subject is highly patterned or of low contrast, such as a field covered with flowers, autofocus may be difficult to obtain.

In such situations:

(1) Focus on a different subject located at the same distance from the camera, then use the focus lock, recompose, and shoot.

(2) Or set the camera's focus mode selector to M (manual) and focus manually on the subject.

- Also, refer to “Getting Good Results with Autofocus” in your camera’s user’s manual.
