When using a tripod, set the vibration reduction ON/OFF ring switch to ON
to reduce the effect of camera shake. Nikon recommends the switch be set to
ON when using the camera on an unsecured tripod head or with a monopod.
But when camera shake is very slight, the vibration reduction function may
conversely increase the effect of camera shake by the movement of the system.
In such a case, set the vibration reduction ON/OFF ring switch to OFF.
Vibration reduction does not function when the AF-ON button on the camera
or a focus operation button on the lens is pressed.

Approximate depth of field can be determined
by checking the depth-of-field indicators.
I
f 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 p. 198.
Setting the aperture
Use the camera to adjust the aperture setting.
Using a built-in rotating tripod collar
When using a tripod, attach it to the lens’ tripod collar instead of the camera.
When holding the camera by its handgrip and rotating the camera with the
lens in its tripod collar, your hand may bump into the tripod, depending on
the tripod in use.
Its possible to detach the tripod collar by removing the tripod collar lock
screw. For details on this procedure, contact your nearest Nikon service center
or representative office.
Changing the camera position
 Loosen the tripod collar lock screw (1). Depending on
camera position (vertical or horizontal), turn the lens to an
appropriate lens rotating position index (2) and tighten
the screw (3).
