Introduction
Thank you for purchasing the AF VR Zoom-Nikkor ED 80-400mm f/4.5-5.6D lens.
This is a high-performance telephoto zoom lens featuring an exceptionally wide 5x
zoom range, plus a special vibration reduction mechanism (hence the "VR" in its
name). With this lens, you can take pictures at shutter speeds approx. 3 steps slower
than you ordinarily could without using a VR lens and still get sharp results. For
example, at the 400mm setting, instead of being limited to 1/500 sec., you can shoot
at shutter speeds down to 1/60 sec. This lens makes telephoto shooting without a
tripod much easier. Panning is also possible, as the lens automatically distinguishes
panning from camera shake.
• Manual focus using focus assist as well as autofocus are possible with all Nikon
AF camera bodies, except the D60, D40-Series and F3AF.
•A (autofocus) or M (manual focus) mode can easily be selected with the focus
mode select ring .
• More accurate exposure control is possible when this lens is mounted on a Nikon
camera having 3D Matrix Metering capability, because subject-distance
information is transferred from the lens to the camera body.
• The use of three ED (extra-low dispersion) lens elements ensures sharp pictures
virtually free of color fringing. Also, by utilizing a 9-blade diaphragm that produces
a nearly circular aperture, out-of-focus images in front of or behind the subject are
rendered as pleasing blurs.
• Closest focusing distance of 2.3m (7.5 ft.) is provided.
• Detachable tripod collar is provided.
When mounted on Nikon Digital Cameras
This lens can be used as an interchangeable lens for the Nikon digital SLR (Nikon DX
format) cameras, such as the D2-Series and D300. When mounted, the lens' picture
angle becomes 20°- 4° and its 35mm equivalent focal length is approx. 12D-600mm.
Important!
• Autofocus is not possible with Nikon's D60 and D40-Series cameras. When using
the lens with these models, set camera focus mode to M.
·Be careful not to soil or damage the CPU contacts.
• Do not use the AF-I T eleconverters TC-14EITC-20E or the AF-S T eleconverters
TC-14EIIITC-17EIIITC-20EII.
• When using the Teleconverter TC-201, vibration reduction mode is not effective
and only manual focus is available.
• Do not attach the following accessories to the lens, as they might damage the lens
CPU contacts: Auto Extension Ring PK-1, PK-11 /11 A, Auto Ring BR-4 and K1 Ring.
Other accessories may not be suitable when this lens is used with certain camera
bodies. For details, refer to instruction manual for each product.
• This lens is not compatible when used with a Nikon F3AF camera with the AF Finder
DX-1 attached.
• When the camera is pointed down, be careful not to hold the lens at the very end as
indicated by the black marks in Fig. F, because the zoom ring or focus ring may
rotate and pinch your fingers.
• With using this lens, particularly at low temperatures and at the wide angle position,
the zoom ring may turn slightly during AF operation. Therefore, please check the
image in the viewfinder to confirm the composition before releasing the shutter.
Focusing
Focus mode select ring and focus mode release button (Fig. A)
Rotate the focus mode select ring to align the ".A." mark with [6] (autofocus) or
lMJ (manual focus). The lis on either side of [6] and lMJ are the locked positions for
autofocus or manual focus.
II beside [6] The ring is locked. Autofocus is possible. To release the lock,
rotate the ring while pressing the focus mode release button.
[6]
The ring click stops into place. Autofocus is possible.
lMJ
The ring click stops into place. Manual focus is possible.
II beside lMJ
The ring is locked. Manual focus is possible. To release the lock,
rotate the ring while pressing the focus mode release button.
Setting the ring at the [6] or lMJ click-stop position is recommended if you frequently
change focus modes.
• Note that only manual focus (with the ring set to lMJ or the II beside lMJ) is usable
when the lens is mounted on manual focus cameras or autofocus cameras set to
the M mode. 15

Using the focus limit switch (Fig. B)
In the autofocus or manual focus mode, depending on the shooting distance, you can
use this switch to limit the range of focus and reduce focusing time. The focus limit
switch cannot be set at a position between approx. 3.5m (11.5 ft.) and 5m (16.4 ft.).

Vibration reduction mode (Fig. C)
The following cameras are usable:
- 35mm SLR cameras: F6, F5, F100, F80-Series/N80-Series, F75-Series/N75-
Series, F65-Series/N65-Series
- Digital cameras: 03, 0700, 02-Series, 01-Series, 0300, 0200, 0100, 080,
070-Series, 060, 050, 040-Series
When using the lens with cameras other than those listed above, set the vibration
reduction mode switch to OFF to cancel the vibration reduction mode.
With the Pronea 600i/6i camera, in particular, battery power may become depleted
quickly if this switch is left ON.
Setting the vibration reduction mode switch
Mode 1
Vibration is reduced at the instant the shutter is released and also while
ON.J:h..o.
the shutter release button is lightly pressed. Because vibration is reduced
in the viewfinder, auto/manual focusing and exact framing of the subject
are easier.
Mode 2
Vibration is reduced only at the instant the shutter is released. In this
ON .J:h
mode, vibration of the image in the viewfinder is not reduced while the
shutter release button is pressed lightly.
OFF
Vibration is not reduced.
-In Mode 1 and Mode 2, wait at least one second before fully depressing the shutter
release button after lightly pressing the shutter button. In Mode 1, it's recommended to
release the shutter after the image in the viewfinder has stopped vibrating.
- The vibration reduction mechanism reduces camera shake. However, if you move
the camera quickly, vibration in the direction of that movement may not be affected.
For example, if you pan the camera horizontally, only vibration in the vertical
direction is reduced, making smooth pans much easier.
- Characteristic of the vibration reduction mechanism, the image in the viewfinder
may blur after releasing the shutter.
16
- Do not turn the camera power OFF while the vibration reduction mode is in
operation. Otherwise the lens may emit a chattering noise when it is moved quickly.
This is not a malfunction. Turn the camera power ON again to correct this.
-If the lens is removed from the camera while the vibration reduction mode is in
operation, the same thing may happen as stated above. Mount the lens and press
the shutter release button halfway to eliminate the chattering noise.
- When the shutter release button is lightly pressed, the vibration reduction mode I
does not work with cameras such as F80-Series/N80-Series or 0100 while the
camera's built-in Speedlight is recycling.
- When the lens is mounted on a tripod, set the vibration reduction mode switch
to OFF. Set the vibration reduction mode switch to ON, when using a monopod or if
the lens is mounted on a tripod without the head being locked in place.
- This mode may be less effective when pictures are taken from a moving vehicle.
- The vibration reduction mode does not work when the AF start (AF-ON) button is
turned on with cameras so equipped.
Focusing, zooming, and dl!J!th of field
(Refer to Quick reference charts 0 and D on page 72.)
In the A (autofocus) mode, first turn the zoom ring until the desired composition is
framed in the viewfinder before autofocusing. In the M (manual focus) mode,
focusing is possible at any focal length, but the longer the focal length, the larger the
image and the shallower the depth of field, making focusing easier. If your camera
has a depth of field preview (stop-down) button or lever, depth of field can be
observed while looking through the camera viewfinder. It is possible to determine
depth of field by using the scale provided on page 72.
To use the depth-of-field scale:
1 Cut out the scales along the lines indicated.
2 Place scale D over scale 0 so the top edge of scale D is aligned with the
focal length in use and the distance is aligned with the central indicator line of
scaleD.
3 Read the scale D numbers that correspond to the aperture in use,
For example, if the lens is focused at 4m with the focal length at 105mm and the
aperture at f/22, the depth of field wi II be approx. 13m to 5.5m (10.8 to 18 ft.).
- 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.
Minimum aperture lock (Fig. D)
Use the minimum aperture lock lever to lock the lens aperture at f/32.
1 Set the lens to its minimum aperture (f/32) by aligning it with the aperture index.
2 Slide the lock lever toward the aperture ring, so the two orange dots are aligned.
To release the lock, slide the lever in the opposite direction.
17

Variable aperture/two aperture indexes
(Refer to chart II on page 73.)
Zooming the lens from 80mm to 400mm decreases the maximum aperture approx.
2/3 of an flstop. For cameras with TTL metering, there is no need to adjust the
aperture. Likewise, for TTL auto flash photography with Nikon Speedlights, no
adjustment is required. However, when the flash-to-subject distance approaches
either the near or far limit of the automatic shooting range, the aperture may need to
be adjusted slightly.
When using a separate exposure meter or taking photographs in the non-TTL flash
mode, select the appropriate aperture index according to the focal length setting in
the following way: The aperture index (line) is used for the 80mm focal length setting
and the dot for the 400mm setting. Click stops are provided at the aperture index
(line) for each aperture setting. For zoom settings between 80 and 400mm, align the
aperture ring between the two indexes to obtain the best overall exposure. To
determine the correct aperture, refer to the chart II on page 73-Relationship
between focal length and maximum aperture.
Infrared compensation
When shooting black and white infrared film, it is necessary to make slight manual
compensation to the focused distance. With color infrared film, no compensation in
focus is needed. The small gold dot just to the left of the distance index line is the
infrared compensation index at the 80mm setting. First, focus manually on the
subject, then realign your focused distance with the small gold dot. Then attach a red
(R60) filter for infrared photography. To determine the position of the infrared
compensation index at all focal lengths, use this chart.

() Indicates degree of exposure compensation needed (Center-Weighted metering only) For F6
cameras, compensate by selecting "Other screen" in Custom Setting "b6: Screen comp." and setting
the EV level to -2.0 to +2.0 in 0.5 EV steps. When using screens other than type B or E, "Other
screen" must be selected even when the required compensation value is "0" (no compensation
required). For F5 cameras, compensate using Custom Setting #18 on the camera body. For F4-
Series cameras, compensate using the Exposure Compensation Dial for the focusing screen.
See instruction manual of the camera body for more details.
Blank box means not applicable. Since type M screen can be used for both macrophotography at a 1:1
magnification ratio and for photomicrography, it has different applications than other screens.
When using the B/B2/B3, E/E2/E3, and K/K2/K3 focusing screens in cameras other than those listed
above, refer to the columns on the F4 + DP-20's B, E and K screens, respectively
* Exposure compensation at telephoto setting. No compensation needed at wideangle setting.
Taking flash pictures with cameras having built-in flash
Check the focal length and shooting distance before taking flash pictures to prevent
vignetting.

Using a tripod (Fig. E)
This lens is equipped with a detachable rotating tripod collar. When using a tripod,
attach it to the lens' tripod collar instead of the camera. To attach the tripod collar to
the lens, follow these steps:
1 Loosen the tripod collar lock screw CD slightly.
2 Insert the lens by aligning the tripod collar alignment index on the lens with the
mark ... - on the tripod collar ®.
3 Turn the lens to an appropriate position index @ (three indexes are provided
every 90°) on the tripod collar by aligning the tripod collar alignment index on
the lens, then tighten the screw. (If the screw is not tight, the lens may
accidentally come off the tripod collar.)
Removing the tripod collar
First loosen the tripod collar lock screw until the tripod collar rotates freely. Do not loosen
the lock screw too much as it may come off. Then align the tripod collar alignment index
on the lens with the mark ... - on the tripod collar and pull off the tripod collar.
Attaching bayonet hood H8-24
Line up the white index on the hood with the hood mounting index on the front of the
lens and turn the hood clockwise (as viewed from the front of the lens) until it click
stops. To facilitate attachment or removal of the hood, hold it by its base rather than
its outer edge. To store the lens hood, you can attach it in the reverse position.
Reproduction ratio and shooting distance
Normal focusing extends from infinity to 2.3m (7.5 ft.). A maximum reproduction
ratio of approx. 1 :25 is obtained at the 80mm setting, while a reproduction ratio of
1 :4.8 is possible at 400mm.
Lens care
• Clean the 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 center to outer edge, taking care not to
leave traces or touch other parts of the lens.
• Never use thinner or benzene to clean the lens as this might damage it, result in a
fire, or cause health problems.
• To protect the front lens element, an NC filter is recommended at all times. A lens
hood also helps protect the front of the lens.
• When storing the lens in its lens case, attach both front and rear caps.
.When the lens will not be used for a long time, store it in a cool, dry place to
prevent mold. Also store the lens away from direct sunlight or chemicals such as
camphor or naphthalene.
