Major
features
•This lens employs aSilent Wave
Motor
to
drive
the
focusing mechanism, making autofocusing smooth,
silent and almost instantaneous. The focus
mode
switch @
is
provided for simple selection
of
autofocus
(A)
or manual focus
(M)
operation.
•More accurate exposure control
is
possible when this
is
mounted
on aNikon camera
with
30
color matrix
metering capability, because subject distance
information
is
transferred from
the
lens
to
the
camera.
•Superior optical performance and rendering
characteristics
are
maximized
with
the
use
of
three
asphericallens elements and
two
extra-low
dispersion
(EO)
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 ®
to
adjust
the
focal
length
until
the
desired composition
is
framed.
If
your
camera
has
adepth-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
approximateand should be used only
as
ageneral
gUide. When shooting distant landscapes,
depth
of
field may influenceoperation
so
that
the
camera may
focus at aposition
that
is
closer than infinity.
