The AF-S DX NIKKOR 18-55mm f/3.5-5.6G VR The lens generally used in this manual for illustrative purposes is an AF-S DX NIKKOR 18-55mm f/3.5-5.6G VR. Focal length mark Focal length scale Mounting mark Lens cap CPU contacts (0 200) Rear lens cap Focus ring (0 40, 100) Zoom ring (0 23) A-M mode switch (0 15, 40) Vibration reduction switch (0 238) The AF-S DX NIKKOR 18-55mm f/3.5-5.6G VR is for use exclusively with Nikon DX format digital cameras. With this lens, changes to zoom can alter maximum aperture by up to 1 1/3 EV. The camera however automatically takes this into account when setting exposure, and no modifications to camera settings are required following adjustments to zoom. D Lens Care • Keep the CPU contacts clean. • Use a blower to remove dust and lint from the lens surfaces. To remove smudges and fingerprints, apply a small amount of ethanol or lens cleaner to a soft, clean cotton cloth or lens-cleaning tissue and clean from the center outwards using a circular motion, taking care not to leave smears or touch the glass with your fingers. • Never use organic solvents such as paint thinner or benzene to clean the lens. • The lens hood or NC filters can be used to protect the front lens element. • Attach the front and rear caps before placing the lens in its flexible pouch. • When a lens hood is attached, do not pick up or hold the lens or camera using only the hood. • If the lens will not be used for an extended period, store it in a cool, dry location to prevent mold and rust. Do not store in direct sunlight or with naphtha or camphor moth balls. • Keep the lens dry. Rusting of the internal mechanism can cause irreparable damage. • Leaving the lens in extremely hot locations could damage or warp parts made from reinforced plastic. 237
