Nikon D7000 user manual 316, Using the Built-in Flash, Lens Care

IITheAF-SDXNIKKOR18-105mm f/3.5-5.6G EDVR

The AF-S DX NIKKOR 18-105 mm f/3.5-5.6G ED VR is for use exclusively with Nikon DX

format digital cameras. Superior optical performance and image rendering are

ensured by the use of aspherical lens elements and elements made using extra-low

dispersion (ED) glass to correct chromatic aberration. A rounded aperture produces

soft, esthetically-pleasing blurring of point light sources in out-of-focus areas of the

image (bokeh). If the camera is equipped with an AF-ON button, vibration reduction will not be activated when the AF-ON button is pressed.

[] Using the Built-in Flash

When using the built-in flash, be sure the subject is at a range of at least 0.6 m (2 ft.) and

remove lens hoods to prevent vignetting (shadows created where the end of the lens

obscures the built-in flash).
D5000,	D3100,	D3000	18mm		2.5m/	8ft.	2in.
			24	mm	1.0 m/ 3 ft.		3in.
D700, D7000, D300series,				All	No vignetting at any focus distance
D200,	D100,	D80
D90,	D70series		18mm		1.5m/	4 ft. 11in.
			24 mm		No vignetting at any focus distance
	D50		18mm		1.0m/	3ft.	3in.
			24	mm	No vignetting	at any	focus distance
			18mm		2.5m/	8ft.	2in.
D60,	D40 series		24	mm	1.0m/	3ft.	3in.
			35 mm		No vignetting at any focus distance

Because the built-in flash units for the D100 and D70 can only cover the angle of view of a lens with a focal of 20 mm or more; vignetting will occur at a focal length of 18 mm.

1_ 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 foran 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.
