Thank you for purchasing the AF-S DX NIKKOR 10-24mm f/3.5-4.5G ED lens. DX NIKKOR lenses are specially designed
for use with Nikon digital-SLR (Nikon DX-format) cameras, such as the D300 and D90. When mounted on Nikon DX-
format cameras, the lens picture angle is equivalent to approximately 1.5× the focal length in 35mm format. Before
using this lens, please read these instructions and refer to your camera’s User’s Manual.
■Major features
• This lens empl oys a Silent Wave Motor to drive the
focusing mechanism, making autofocusing smooth,
silent and almost instantaneous. The focus mode
switch d is provided for simple selection of
autofocus (A) or manual focus (M) operation.
• More accurate exposure control is possible when this
is mounted on a Nikon camera with 3D color matrix
metering capability, because subject distance
information is transferred from the lens to the camera.
• S uperior optical performance and rendering
characteristics are maximized with the use of three
aspherical lens elements and two extra-low
dispersion (ED) glass elements, which ensure
correction of chromatic aberration. In addition, the
rounded aperture produces soft and pleasing blur
characteristics in portions of pictures that are out-of-
focus.
■Focusing, zooming, and depth of field
Before focusing, rotate the zoom ring 5 to adjust the
focal length until the desired composition is framed.
If your camera has a depth-of-field preview (stop-
down) button or lever, depth of field can be previewed
through the camera viewfinder.
• This lens is equipped with the Internal Focusing (IF)
system. As the shooting distance decreases, the focal
length also decreases.
• The distance scale does not indicate the precise
distance between the subject and the camera. Values
are approximate and should be used only as a general
guide. When shooting distant landscapes, depth of
field may influence operation so that the camera may
focus at a position that is closer than infinity.
