Do not use the camera or lens in the
presence of flammable gas
Operating electronic equipment in the presence of
flammable gas could result in an explosion or fire.
Do not look at the sun through the lens
or viewfinder
Viewing the sun or other strong light sources through the
lens or viewfinder could cause permanent visual
impairment.
Keep out of reach of children
Particular care should be taken to prevent infants from
putting the batteries or other small parts into their mouths.
Observe the following precautions when
handling the camera
and lens
•Keep the camera and lens unit dry. Failure to do so
could result in fire or electric shock.
•Do
not handle or touch the camera or lens unit with
wet hands. Failure to do so could result in electric
shock.
•When shooting
with back-lighting, do not point the
lens at the
sun or allow sunlight to pass directly down

possibly cause afire.
•When the lens will
not be used for an extended period

Thank you for purchasing the AF-S NIKKOR 24mm f/1 .4G ED lens. Before using this lens,
please read these instructions and refer to your camera's User's Manual.
1m • Major features •Usable cameras and available
• The Nano Crystal Coat deposited on some of the functions

from the sunny outdoors to spotlighted interior
scenes.
• This lens employs a Silent 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 (AF) or manual focus (MF) operation.
•
Superior optical performance and rendering
characteristics are maximized with the use of two
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.
•
The closest focusing distance possible is 0.25 m
(0.82 ft.)
Important
• When mounted on Nikon DX format digital SLR
cameras, such as the D300-Series and D90, the
lens' picture angle becomes 61
0
and its 35mm
equivalent
focal length is approx. 36 mm.

• Focusing (Fig. A)
Set your camera's focus mode selector according
to the chart below:
Autofocus with manual.override (MIA mode)
m Set the lens focus mode switch to MIA.
WAutofocus is enabled, but autofocus operation
can be overridden by rotating the separate
focus ring while pressing the shutter-release
button halfway, or by pressing the AF-ON
button on the camera body
of cameras so
equipped.
rn Press the shutter-release button halfway or the
AF-ON button once again to cancel manual
focus and resume autofocus.
Important
When using infrared film, it is necessary to use a
red (R60) filter on the lens and compensate focus ~
manually. ~
• Focus on the subject. Rotate the focus ring to
realign the desired distance scale number (" 1 m"
in Fig. "Depth of field" on p. 14) to the infrared
compensation
scale to compensate focus. When
done, attach the
R60 filter.

1m checking the depth-of-field indicators.
• If your camera has adepth-of field preview (stop-
down) button or lever, depth of field can be
previewed through the camera viewfinder.

• The built-in flash cannot be used over distances
of less than 0.6 m(2.0 ft.).
•
To prevent vignetting, do not use the lens hood.
•Using the lens hood
Lens hoods minimize stray light and protect the
lens.
Attaching the hood •
Be sure that the lens

index (e) is aligned
with the lens hood
setting index (-0).
• To facilitate attachment or removal of the hood,
hold it by the base (near the lens hood

(r)) rather than its outer
edge.
•If the lens hood is not correctly attached,
vignetting
may occur.
• To store the lens hood, attach it in the reverse
position.

cleaner. Wipe in a circular motion from the center
to outer edge, taking care not to leave traces or
touch other parts of the lens.
• Never use organic solvent such as thinner or
benzene to clean the lens.
• NC filters are available to protect the front lens
element. The lens hood also helps to protect the
front of the
lens.
•When storing the lens in its flexible lens pouch,
attach both the front
and rear lens caps.
•When the lens is mounted on a camera, do not
pick
up or hold the camera and lens by the lens
