TheAF-SDXNIKKOR 18-105 mm f/3.5-5.6GED VR

The AF-S DX NIKKOR 18-105 mm f/3.5-5.6G ED VR is for use exclusively with Nikon DX

format digital cameras. Superior optical performance and image rendering are

ensured by the use of aspherical lens elements and elements made using extra-low

dispersion (ED) glass to correct chromatic aberration. A rounded aperture produces

soft, esthetically-pleasing blurring of point light sources in out-of-focus areas of the

image

(bokeh).

If the camera is equipped with an AF-ON button, vibration reduction

will not be activated when the AF-ON button is pressed.

M

Using the Built-in Flash

When using the built-in flash, be sure the subject is at a range of at least 0.6 m (2 ft.) and

remove lens hoods to prevent vignetting (shadows created where the end of the lens

obscures the built-in flash).

No vignetting at any focus distance

Because the built-in flash units for the D100 and D70 can only cover the angle of view of a
lens with a focal of 20 mm or more; vignetting will occur at a focal length of 18 mm.

C Lens Care

• Keep the CPU contacts clean.
• Use a blower to remove dust and lint from the lens surfaces. To remove smudges and

fingerprints, apply a small amount of ethanol or lens cleaner to a soft, clean cotton cloth

or lens-cleaning tissue and clean from the center outwards using a circular motion, taking
care not to leave smears or touch the glass with your fingers.

• Never use organic solvents such as paint thinner or benzene to clean the lens.
• The lens hood or NC filters can be used to protect the front lens element.
• Attach the front and rear caps before placing the lens in its flexible pouch.
• When a lens hood is attached, do not pick up or hold the lens or camera using only the

hood.

• If the lens will not be used foran extended period, store it in a cool, dry location to prevent

mold and rust. Do not store in direct sunlight or with naphtha or camphor moth balls.

• Keep the lens dry. Rusting of the internal mechanism can cause irreparable damage.
• Leaving the lens in extremely hot locations could damage or warp parts made from

reinforced plastic.
