Funcionament de la lent

Autofocus (AF) and Manual Focus (M)

The lens supports both autofocus and manual focus. D-type and G-type Nikkors relay subject-to-camera distance information to compatible AF Nikon camera bodies, enabling advanced metering and flash control features. This lens features a fast and silent AF-S motor, allowing for full-time manual focus override. This means you can fine-tune focus manually even when in autofocus mode.

Reducció de vibracions (VR)

This innovative VR system minimizes image blur caused by camera shake, offering the equivalent of shooting at a shutter speed three stops (eight times) faster. It allows handheld shooting in low-light conditions, such as dusk, at night, and in poorly lit interiors. The lens' VR system also automatically detects when the photographer pans, eliminating the need for a special mode.

VR operation works with compatible Nikon camera bodies including the F6, F5, F100, F80, F75, F65, D2-series, D1-series, D100, D70-series, and D50 cameras.

ED Glass Elements

Nikon developed ED (Extra-low Dispersion) glass to produce lenses with superior sharpness and color correction by minimizing chromatic aberration. This lens incorporates three ED glass elements, ensuring high contrast and optical performance even at maximum apertures. This technology helps to deliver clear and vibrant images.

Revestiment súper integrat de Nikon

To enhance optical performance, Nikon employs an exclusive multilayer lens coating that helps reduce ghosting and flare to a negligible level. This coating minimizes reflection across a wider wavelength range and ensures superior color balance and reproduction. It is particularly effective for zoom lenses with multiple elements, contributing to the overall image quality.

Limitador de rang d'enfocament

The lens features a focus range lock feature and a focus limit switch. This allows you to restrict the autofocus range, which can speed up focusing when shooting subjects within a specific distance range. For example, you can set it to focus only on distant subjects, preventing the lens from hunting through the entire focus range.

Manteniment

Atenció General

Always handle your lens with care. Avoid dropping or subjecting it to strong impacts. When not in use, keep the front and rear lens caps attached to protect the optical elements. Store the lens in its soft pouch (CL-M1) to prevent scratches and dust accumulation.

Neteja de la lent

To clean the lens surfaces, first use a blower brush to remove any loose dust or debris. For smudges or fingerprints, use a clean, soft microfiber cloth specifically designed for optical lenses. Apply a small amount of lens cleaning solution to the cloth, not directly to the lens, and gently wipe in a circular motion from the center outwards. Avoid using abrasive materials or harsh chemicals.

Emmagatzematge

Store the lens in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures. If storing for an extended period, consider using a desiccant to prevent mold and mildew growth, especially in humid environments.
