Introduction
Thank you for purchasing the AF-S VR Zoom-Nikkor 24-120mm f/3.5-5.6G IF-ED
lens. This is a high-performance zoom lens featuring special Vibration Reduction
(VR) and high-speed Internal Focusing (IF) mechanisms. It also employs a Silent (S)
Wave Motor to drive the focusing mechanism.
Major features
With this lens, you can take pictures at shutter speeds approx. 3 stops slower
(at 120mm setting) than you ordinarily could without a VR lens, expanding the
range of usable shutter speed options and making shooting at various zoom
settings much easier without a tripod.
Panning is also possible, as the lens automatically distinguishes panning from
camera shake and vibration reduction works effectively.
Autofocus (A) or manual (M) mode can easily be selected with the focus mode
switch.
Autofocusing with manual override is provided, allowing instant change from
autofocusing to manual focusing.
More accurate exposure control is possible when this 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 two ED (extra-low dispersion) lens elements ensures sharp pictures
virtually free of color fringing. Also, by utilizing a 7-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 0.5m (1.6 ft.) is provided
Important!
Be careful not to soil or damage the CPU contacts.
When mounted on Nikon digital SLR (Nikon DX format) cameras, such as the
D2-Series and D50, the lens' picture angle becomes 61˚–13˚20’ and its 35mm
equivalent focal length range is approx. 36–180mm.
