Introduction
Thank you for purchasing the AF-S VR Zoom-Nikkor ED 24-120mm f/3.5-5.6G IF
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 cameras (Nikon DX format) D2-Series, D1-Series,
D100 and D70 digital cameras, the lens' picture angle becomes 61˚–13˚20’ and its
35mm equivalent focal length range is approx. 36–180mm.
