3. Funcionament de l'objectiu

3.1 Autoenfocament (AF) i enfocament manual (MF)

The AF-P DX NIKKOR 18-55mm f/3.5-5.6G VR lens uses a pulse motor for autofocus. This system provides fast, precise, and exceptionally quiet focusing. Unlike older lenses, this lens does not have an AF/MF switch on the barrel. Focus mode selection is done via the camera's menu system.

To switch between autofocus and manual focus, navigate to the focus mode settings in your camera's menu. You can also manually adjust focus by rotating the focus ring when the camera is in autofocus mode (full-time manual override).

3.2 Reducció de vibracions (VR)

Nikon's Vibration Reduction (VR) system compensates for camera shake, allowing you to use slower shutter speeds and still achieve sharp images. This is particularly beneficial in low-light conditions or when shooting handheld.

Similar to focus mode, the VR function is controlled through your camera's menu. There is no physical VR on/off switch on the lens barrel. For optimal results, it is generally recommended to keep VR enabled unless using a tripod or shooting at very high shutter speeds where VR might introduce slight blur.

3.3 Ampliació

To change the focal length, rotate the zoom ring on the lens barrel. The lens covers a range from 18mm (wide-angle) to 55mm (short telephoto), making it versatile for various photographic needs.

3.4 Abertura

The lens has a variable maximum aperture of f/3.5 at 18mm and f/5.6 at 55mm. The minimum aperture ranges from f/22 to f/38. Aperture settings are controlled via the camera body.

• Emmagatzematge: When not in use, attach both front and rear lens caps. Store the lens in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures. If storing for extended periods, consider using a desiccant to prevent mold growth.
