When Shooting Using Cameras with Built-in Flash
Shadows will be visible
in
photos where the
light
from the built-in flash is obscured
by the
lens
or lens hood. Remove the lens
hood
before shooting. Note, however,
that
even
if
the hood
is removed,
shadows
may
still be visible at some focal lengths and
focus distances.
,
Shadows may be visible in photos when you use the built-in flash with this
lens
mounted. The
focal
lengths and focus distances at which photos can be
taken
with-
out shadows are as follows.

Vibration Reduction (VR)
The
lens's on-board vibration reduction can be enabled or
disabled
using camera con-
trols;
see the camera
manual for
details.
Vibration
reduction
reduces blur caused by camera shake, allowing shutter speeds
up
to
5.5 stops
(Normal
mode}
slower than would be otherwise and
increasing
the range
of shutter speeds available.
Note:
The effects ofVR on shutter speed are measured according
to
ca
mera
and
Imag-
ing
P
roducts Association (CIPA}
standards.
FX-format lenses
are measured using FX-for-
mat
mirrorless
cameras, OX-format lenses using DX-format mirrorless cameras. Zoom
lenses are measured at maximum zoom.
•
Do not turn
the
camera off or
remove
the lens while vibration
reduction
is
in
effect.
If
power to
the lens is
cut while vibration
reduction is
on, the lens may rattle when
shaken.
This
is
not
a malfunction, and can be corrected by reattaching
the
lens and
turning the camera on.
•
Normal
and
Sport
vibration reduction can reduce blur when the camera is mounted
on a
tripod.
Off
may however produce better results
in
some cases depending on the
type of tripod and on shooting conditions.
•
Normal
and
Sport
are
recommended if the
camera is mounted on a
monopod.
I
When the Lens Is Attached
The
focus position
may
change
if
you turn the camera off and then on again after
fo-
cusing. If you have
focused
on a pre-selected location while waiting for your subject
to
appear, we
recommend that
you do not turn the camera off
until
the picture is taken
Precautions
for
Use
•
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.
, Replace
the
lens
caps when the lens is not
in
use.
•
To protect the interior of the lens, store
it
out of
direct
sunlight.
,
Do not leave the lens in humid
locations
or in
locations
in which it may be exposed to
moisture. Rusting of the
internal mechanism
can cause
irreparable
damage.
•
Do not leave the lens next to open flames or in other extremely hot locations.
Ex-
treme
heat could damage or warp exterior parts made from reinforced plastic.
•
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.
,
We
recommend
that you
place the
lens in its case to protect it from scratches during
transport.
Lens Care
,
Removing dust
is
normally sufficient to clean the glass surfaces of the lens
•
The fluorine-coated front lens
element
can be cleaned as described below.
-
Smudges, fingerprints, and other oily stains can be removed using a soft, clean
cot-
ton cloth or lens cleaning
tissue;
clean from the center outwards
using
a circular
motion.
-
To
remove stubborn stains, wipe gently using a soft cloth lightly dampened with a
small amount of distilled water, ethanol, or lens cleaner.
-
Any drop-shaped marks
left from
this process on the
water-
and oil-repellent
sur-
face can subsequently be removed with a
dry
cloth.
•
When
cleaning
the
rear lens
element, which
is not
fluorine-coated,
remove
smudges,
fin-
gerprints, and other oily stains using a soft, clean cotton cloth or lens cleaning
tissue
lightly
dampened with a small amount of ethanol or lens cleaner. Wipe gently from
the center outwards
in
a circular motion, taking care
not to
leave smears or touch the
lens with your fingers.
, Never
use organic solvents such as paint thinner or benzene to clean the
lens.
•
Neutral
Color (NC) filters (available separately) and the like can be
used to
protect the
front
lens
element.
When attaching or
removing
the hood,
hold
it
near
the lens hood alignment mark
(e
)
·
If
the lens will not be used for an extended period, store it in a cool, dry
location to
and avoid gripping the
front
of the hood too
tightly.
The hood can be reversed and
