Thank you for purchasing the AF-S DX NIKKOR 18-200mm f/3.5-5.6G ED VR II lens. DX NIKKOR lenses are specially designed for use with Nikon digital-SLR (Nikon DX format) cameras, such as the D300-series and D90. When

En 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

•By enabling vibration reduction (VRII), slower shutter speeds (approximately four stops*) can be used, thus increasing the range of usable shutter speeds and zoom positions, particularly when hand-holding the camera. (*Based on results achieved under Nikon measurement conditions. The effects of vibration reduction may vary according to shooting conditions and use.)

•It is possible to switch between NORMAL mode, which reduces effects of camera shake under normal shooting conditions, and ACTIVE mode, which reduces effects of more noticeable camera shake such as that which occurs when taking pictures from a moving vehicle.

In NORMAL mode, the camera automatically distinguishes camera shake from panning motion to reduce the effects of camera shake with horizontal or vertical panning.

•Superior 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.
