Thank you for purchasing the AF-S NIKKOR 28-300mm f/3.5-5.6G ED
VR lens. Before using this lens, please read these instructions and refer
to your camera's user's manual.
Major features
• By enabling vibration reduction (VR Ⅱ ), 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) lens elements, which minimize chromatic aberration. In addition, the
rounded aperture produces soft and pleasing blur characteristics in portions
of pictures that are out-of-focus.
Important
• When mounted on Nikon DX format digital SLR cameras, such as the D300-
Series and D90, the lens’ angle of view becomes 53°-5°20’ and its 35mm
equivalent focal length is approx. 42-450mm.
Usable cameras and available functions
There may be some restrictions or limitation for available functions. Refer to camera's
user's manual for details.

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 a depth-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 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 page 144.
• When the zoom lock is set to LOCK position at the focal length of 28mm, the
zoom ring is locked. When carrying the camera, lock the zoom ring to prevent
the lens from extending due to its own weight.
Setting the aperture
Use the camera to adjust the aperture setting.
Variable maximum apertures
Zooming the lens from 28mm to 300mm decreases the maximum aperture by
1 1/3stop. However, there is no need to adjust the aperture setting to achieve
correct exposures because the camera automatically compensates for this
variable.

Setting the vibration reduction ON/OFF switch
ON: The effects of camera shake are reduced while the
shutter-release button is pressed halfway and also at
the instant the shutter is released. Because vibration is
reduced in the viewfinder, auto/manual focusing and
exact framing of the subject are easier.
OFF: The effects of camera shake are not reduced.

Setting the vibration reduction mode switch
Set the vibration reduction ON/OFF switch to ON and choose a vibration
reduction mode with the vibration reduction mode switch.
NORMAL: The vibration reduction mechanism primarily
reduces the effects of camera shake. The effects
of camera shake are also reduced with horizontal
and vertical panning.
ACTIVE: The vibration reduction mechanism reduces
the effects of camera shake, such as that which
occurs when taking pictures from a moving
vehicle, whether it be normal or more intense
camera shake. In this mode, camera shake is not
automatically distinguished from panning motion.
Notes on using vibration reduction
• If this lens is used with cameras that do not have the vibration reduction
function (pg. 14), set the vibration reduction ON/OFF switch to OFF. With
the Pronea 600i/6i camera, in particular, battery power may become quickly
depleted if this switch is left ON.
• After pressing the shutter-release button halfway, wait until the image in the
viewfinder stabilizes before pressing the shutter-release button the rest of the
way down.
• Due to the characteristics of the vibration reduction mechanism, the image
in the viewfinder may be blurred after the shutter is released. This is not a
malfunction.
• When taking panning shots, be sure to set the vibration reduction mode
switch to NORMAL. If the camera is panned in a wide arc, compensation for
camera shake in the panning direction is not performed. For example, only the
effects of vertical camera shake is reduced with horizontal panning.
• Do not turn the camera off or remove the lens from the camera while vibration
reduction is operating. Failure to observe this note could result in the lens
sounding and feeling as if an internal component is loose or broken when it is
shaken. This is not a malfunction. Turn the camera on again to correct this.
• With cameras featuring a built-in flash, vibration reduction does not function
while the built-in flash is charging.
• When the camera is mounted on a tripod, set the vibration reduction ON/OFF
switch to OFF. However, set the switch to ON when using a tripod without
securing the tripod head, or when using a monopod.
• With autofocus cameras featuring an AF-ON button, vibration reduction does
not function when the AF-ON button is pressed.

Using the lens hood
Lens hoods minimize stray light and protect the lens.
Attaching the hood (when in use)
• Be sure that the lens hood mounting index ( ) is
aligned with the lens hood setting index ( ) (3).
• To facilitate attachment or removal of the hood,
hold it by the base (near the lens hood attachment
index (
)) rather than its outer edge.
• If the lens hood is not correctly attached, vignetting
may occur.
Attaching the hood (when storing)
• To store the lens hood, attach it in the reverse
position.
The built-in flash and vignetting
• 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.
*Vignetting is the darkening of the corners around the image that occurs when the
light emitted by the flash is obstructed by the lens barrel.

Lens care
• When the lens is mounted on a camera, do not pick up or hold the camera
and lens by the lens hood.
• Be careful not to allow the CPU contacts to become dirty or damaged.
• If the lens mount rubber gasket is damaged, be sure to visit the nearest Nikon-
authorized service representative for repair.
• Clean lens surfaces with a blower brush. To remove dirt and smudges, use a soft,
clean cotton cloth or lens tissue moistened with ethanol (alcohol) or lens 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 will not be used for an extended period of time, store it in a
cool, dry place to prevent mold and rust. Be sure to store the lens away from
direct sunlight or chemicals such as camphor or naphthalene.
• Do not get water on the lens or drop it in water as this will cause it to rust and
malfunction.
• Reinforced plastic is used for certain parts of the lens. To avoid damage, never
leave the lens in an excessively hot place.
