•When using a tripod, set the vibration reduction ON/OFF ring switch to ON to reduce the effect of camera shake. Nikon recommends the switch be set to ON when using the camera on an unsecured tripod head or with a monopod. But when camera shake is very slight, the vibration reduction function may conversely increase the effect of camera shake by the movement of the system. In such a case, set the vibration reduction ON/OFF ring switch to OFF.

•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 and the subject may appear in focus at a position that is closer than infinity.
•For more information, see p. 198.
Setting the aperture
Use the camera to adjust the aperture setting.
Using a built-in rotating tripod collar
When using a tripod, attach it to the lens’ tripod collar instead of the camera.
•When holding the camera by its handgrip and rotating the camera with the lens in its tripod collar, your hand may bump into the tripod, depending on the tripod in use.
•It’s possible to detach the tripod collar by removing the tripod collar lock screw. For details on this procedure, contact your nearest Nikon service center or representative office.
Changing the camera position
Loosen the tripod collar lock screw (1). Depending on camera position (vertical or horizontal), turn the lens to an appropriate lens rotating position index (2) and tighten the screw (3).
