Thank you for purchasing the AF-S NIKKOR 70-200mm f/2.8G ED VR

Ⅱ

lens. Before using this lens, please read these instructions and refer to

your camera's User's Manual.

Major features

• The Nano Crystal Coat deposited on some of the lens elements ensures that

fine, clear images can be reproduced under various shooting conditions, from

the sunny outdoors to spotlighted interior scenes.

• By enabling vibration reduction (VR

Ⅱ

), slower shutter speeds (approximately

four stops*) can be used, thus increasing the range of usable shutter speeds

and zoom positions, particularly when hand-holding the camera. (*Based

on results achieved under Nikon measurement conditions. The effects of

vibration reduction may vary according to shooting conditions and use.)

• Two vibration reduction modes are available: (1) the NORMAL mode for

reducing camera shake, and (2) the ACTIVE mode for reducing strong

camera shake such as when taking pictures from a moving vehicle. Vibration

reduction is also effective for panning, as the lens automatically distinguishes

panning from camera shake to enable vibration reduction to work effectively

(in NORMAL mode).

•

This lens employs a Silent Wave Motor to drive the focusing mechanism, making

autofocusing smooth, silent and almost instantaneous. The focus mode switch is

provided for simple selection of autofocus (AF) or manual focus (MF) operation.

•

Autofocus can be overridden by setting the focus mode switch to A/M or M/A and

manually focusing with the focus ring.

• Superior optical performance and rendering characteristics are maximized

with the use of seven extra-low dispersion (ED) glass elements, which

ensure correction of chromatic aberration. In addition, the rounded aperture

produces soft and pleasing blur characteristics in picture areas that are out of

focus.

• The closest focusing distance possible is 1.4 m (4.6 ft.)

• Up to four Wireless Remote Speedlight SB-R200s can be mounted on the edge

of the lens.

• AF-I/AF-S Teleconverters TC-14E/TC-14E

Ⅱ

/TC-17E

Ⅱ

/TC-20E/TC-20E

Ⅱ

are

usable. Even when a teleconverter is attached, both vibration reduction and

autofocus functions work properly.

Important

• When mounted on Nikon digital SLR (Nikon DX format) cameras, such as the

D300-Series and D90, the lens’ picture angle becomes 22°50’-8° and its 35mm

equivalent focal length is approx. 105-300 mm.

aSet the focus mode switch to A/M or M/A.

bYou can manually override autofocus by operating the focus ring while

pressing the shutter release button halfway down or the AF-ON button on

the camera.

cPressing the shutter release button halfway down or pressing the AF-ON

button on the camera again will cancel manual override and return to

autofocus mode.

To limit the range of autofocus

This function is only available with autofocus.

• With AF operation, if the subject is always more than 5 m

(16.4 ft.) away, set the focusing limit switch to –5m to

reduce focusing time.

• If the subject is sometimes 5 m (16.4 ft.) or closer, set it to

FULL.

Set the vibration reduction mode switch

to NORMAL.

Set the vibration reduction mode switch

to ACTIVE.

Setting the vibration reduction ON/OFF switch

ON: Vibration is reduced while the shutter-release button

is pressed halfway and also at the instant the shutter

is released. Because vibration is reduced in the

viewfinder, auto/manual focusing and exact framing

of the subject are easier.

OFF: Vibration is not reduced.

Setting the vibration reduction mode switch

First, set the vibration reduction ON/OFF switch ON, then select the following

mode:

NORMAL: The vibration reduction mechanism primarily

reduces camera shake, making smooth panning

shots possible.

ACTIVE: The vibration reduction mechanism reduces

more noticeable camera shake, such as that

which occurs when taking pictures from a

moving vehicle. In this mode, the lens does not

automatically distinguish panning from camera

shake.

Notes on using vibration reduction

• After pressing the shutter-release button halfway, wait until the image in the

viewfinder stabilizes before pressing the shutter-release button the rest of the

way down.

• Due to the characteristics of the vibration reduction mechanism, the image

in the viewfinder may be blurred after the shutter is released. This is not a

malfunction.

• When taking panning shots, be sure to set the vibration reduction mode

switch to NORMAL. If the camera is panned in a wide arc, compensation for

camera shake in the panning direction is not performed. For example, when

panning the camera in a horizontal direction, vertical camera shake is reduced.

This stabilizes the image whilst allowing the desired panning effect to be realized.

• Do not turn the camera off or remove the lens from the camera while vibration

reduction is operating. Failure to observe this note could result in the lens

sounding and feeling as if an internal component is loose or broken when it is

shaken. This is not a malfunction. Turn the camera on again to correct this.

• With cameras featuring a built-in flash, vibration reduction does not function

while the built-in flash is charging.

• With autofocus cameras featuring an AF-ON button, vibration reduction does

not function when the AF-ON button is pressed.

• When the camera is mounted on a tripod, set the vibration reduction ON/OFF

switch to OFF. However, it is recommended that the switch be set to ON when

using the camera on an unsecured tripod head or with monopod.

Focusing, zooming, and depth of field

Before focusing, rotate the zoom ring to adjust the focal length until the desired

composition is framed. If your camera has a depth-of-field preview (stopdown)

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 be in focus at a position that is closer

than infinity.

• For more information, see p.170.

Setting the aperture

Use the camera to adjust the aperture setting.

Using a tripod

When using a tripod, attach it to the lens’ tripod collar instead of the camera.

CAUTION

When using a tripod, be sure to fully tighten the tripod collar lock screw,

otherwise the lens may fall off the tripod accidentally and cause bodily injury.

Attaching the tripod

 Insert the tripod collar mounting foot into the tripod collar

(1), then fully tighten the tripod collar lock screw (2).

Changing the camera’s position

 Loosen the tripod collar ring fastening screw (1).

Depending on the camera’s position (vertical or horizontal),

turn the lens to an appropriate position index on the tripod

collar ring by aligning the tripod collar ring rotating index

on the lens (2), then tighten the screw (3).

Detaching the tripod

 Fully loosen the tripod collar lock screw (1). While holding

Using the lens hood

Lens hoods minimise stray light and protect the lens.

Attaching the hood

• Be sure that the lens hood mounting index ( ) is aligned

with the lens hood setting index ( ) (3).

• To facilitate attachment or removal of the hood, hold

it by the base (near the lens hood attachment index

(

))

rather than its outer edge.

• If the lens hood is not correctly attached, vignetting

may occur.

• To store the lens hood, attach it in the reverse

position.

Detaching the hood

While holding down the lens hood lock release button

(1), turn the hood clockwise (as viewed from the

camera side) (2, 3).

Recommended focusing screens

( ): 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.

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 magnification ratio of 1:1 or above and for

photomicrography, it has different applications than other screens.

Important

• For F5 cameras, only EC-B, EC-E, B, E, J, A, L focusing screens are usable in

Matrix Metering.

• When using the B and E focusing screens in cameras other than those listed
