Introduction

Thank you for purchasing the AF VR Zoom-Nikkor ED 80-400mm f/4.5-5.6D lens. This is a high-performance telephoto zoom lens featuring an exceptionally wide 5x zoom range, plus a special vibration reduction mechanism (hence the “VR” in its name). With this lens, you can take pictures at shutter speeds approx. 3 steps slower than you ordinarily could without using a VR lens and still get sharp results. For example, at the 400mm setting, instead of being limited to 1/500 sec., you can shoot at shutter speeds down to 1/60 sec. This lens makes telephoto shooting without a tripod much easier. Panning is also possible, as the lens automatically distinguishes panning from camera shake.

•Manual focus using focus assist as well as autofocus are possible with all Nikon AF camera bodies, except the F3AF.

•A (autofocus) or M (manual focus) mode can easily be selected with the focus mode select ring.

•More accurate exposure control is possible when this lens 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 three 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 2.3m (7.5 ft.) is provided. •Detachable tripod collar is provided.
