Introduction Thank you for purchasing the AF-S VR Zoom-Nikkor ED 70-200mm f/2.8G IF lens. This is a high-performance zoom lens featuring special Vibration Reduction (VR) and high-speed Internal Focusing (IF) mechanisms. It also employs a Silent (S) Wave Motor to drive the focusing mechanism. Major features En ˔ With this lens, you can take pictures at shutter speeds approx. 3 stops slower than you ordinarily could without using a VR lens, expanding the range of usable shutter speed options and making telephoto shooting much easier without a tripod. ˔ 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 and vibration reduction works effectively (in the NORMAL mode). ˔ Autofocus (A) or manual (M) mode can easily be selected with the focus mode switch. ˔ Various functions provided: (1) autofocusing with manual override providing an instant change from autofocusing to manual focusing, (2) focusing limit switch to limit AF operation within a certain shooting distance, (3) focus lock button to lock focus on the lens, etc. (Refer to "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 five 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. ˔ Closest focusing distance of 1.5m (4.9 ft.) (AF) and 1.4m (4.6 ft.) (MF) are provided. ˔ Detachable tripod collar is provided and can be removed when not needed. Important! ˔ Be careful not to soil or damage the CPU contacts. ˔ AF-I/AF-S Teleconverters TC-14E/TC-14EII/TC-17EII/TC-20E/TC-20EII are usable. Even when a teleconverter is attached, both vibration reduction and autofocus functions work properly. ˔ When mounted on Nikon digital cameras (Nikon DX format) D2-Series, D1-Series, D100 and D70, the lens' picture angle becomes 22˚50'-8˚ and its 35mm equivalent focal length range is approx. 105-300mm. ˔ If the lens mount rubber gasket is damaged, be sure to visit the nearest Nikon authorized dealer or service center for repair. 15
