Thank you for purchasing the AF-S NIKKOR 70-200mm f/2.8G ED VR
lens. Before using this lens, please read these instructions and refer to
your camera's User's Manual.
Major features
En
• 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 (VR ), slower shutter speeds (approximately
four stops*) can be used, thus increasing the range of usable shutter speeds
and zoom positions, particularly when hand-holding the camera. (*Based
on results achieved under Nikon measurement conditions. The effects of
vibration reduction may vary according to shooting conditions and use.)
• Two vibration reduction modes are available: (1) the NORMAL mode for
reducing camera shake, and (2) the ACTIVE mode for reducing strong
camera shake such as when taking pictures from a moving vehicle. Vibration
reduction is also effective for panning, as the lens automatically distinguishes
panning from camera shake to enable vibration reduction to work effectively
(in NORMAL mode).
• This lens employs a Silent Wave Motor to drive the focusing mechanism, making
autofocusing smooth, silent and almost instantaneous. The focus mode switch is
provided for simple selection of autofocus (AF) or manual focus (MF) operation.
• Autofocus can be overridden by setting the focus mode switch to A/M or M/A and
manually focusing with the focus ring.
• Superior optical performance and rendering characteristics are maximized
with the use of seven extra-low dispersion (ED) glass elements, which
ensure correction of chromatic aberration. In addition, the rounded aperture
produces soft and pleasing blur characteristics in picture areas that are out of
focus.
• The closest focusing distance possible is 1.4 m (4.6 ft.)
• Up to four Wireless Remote Speedlight SB-R200s can be mounted on the edge
of the lens.
• AF-I/AF-S Teleconverters TC-14E/TC-14E /TC-17E /TC-20E/TC-20E
usable. Even when a teleconverter is attached, both vibration reduction and
autofocus functions work properly.
Important
• When mounted on Nikon digital SLR (Nikon DX format) cameras, such as the
D300-Series and D90, the lens' picture angle becomes 22°50'-8° and its 35mm
equivalent focal length is approx. 105-300 mm.
