The effects of vibration reduction vary depending on individual and shooting conditions.) • Two vibration reduction modes are available: (1) the [NORMAL] mode for reducing camera shake, and (2) the [ACTIVE] mode for reducing camera shake when taking pictures from a moving vehicle. • Panning is also possible, as the lens automatically distinguishes panning from camera shake (in [NORMAL] mode) and vibration reduction works effectively. • 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 two ED (extra-low dispersion) lens elements ensures sharp pictures virtually free of color fringing.

1. Introduction
Thank you for purchasing the AF-S VR Zoom-Nikkor 70-300mm f/4.5-5.6G IF-ED lens.
This is a high-performance zoom lens featuring special Vibration Reduction (VR
2
)
and high-speed Internal Focusing (IF) mechanisms. It also employs a Silent (S) Wave
Motor to drive the focusing mechanism.
■
Major features
• Pictures can be taken at shutter speeds approx. 4 stops* slower than is possible
without using a VR
2
lens, thus expanding the range of usable shutter speed
options and making shooting without a tripod at various zoom settings much easier.
(*Under Nikon measurement conditions. The effects of vibration reduction vary
depending on individual and shooting conditions.)
• Two vibration reduction modes are available: (1) the [NORMAL] mode for reducing
camera shake, and (2) the [ACTIVE] mode for reducing camera shake when taking
pictures from a moving vehicle.
• Panning is also possible, as the lens automatically distinguishes panning from
camera shake (in [NORMAL] mode) and vibration reduction works effectively.
• 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 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 closest focusing distance possible is 1.5m or 4.9 ft. (at all zoom settings).
■
Important
