Before using this product, please carefully read both these instructions and
the camera manual. The illustrations in these instructions show an AF-P DX
NIKKOR 70–300 mm f/4.5–6.3G ED VR lens.
Note
: DX lenses are for use with Nikon DX-format digital single-lens refl ex
cameras. The angle of view of a lens on a DX-format camera is equivalent to
that of a lens with a focal length about 1.5 × longer mounted on a 35 mm
format camera.
This lens does not support D4-series, D3-series, D2-series, D1-series, D800-
series, D700, D610, D600, D300-series, D200, D100, D90, D80, D70-series,
D60, D50, D40-series, D7000, D5100, D5000, D3200, D3100 or D3000 digital
SLR cameras or fi lm SLR cameras. When using it with a D5500, D5300, or
D3300, be sure the camera fi rmware has been updated to the latest version.
If the camera is off or the standby timer has expired, the focus ring can
not be used to focus the camera and rotating the zoom ring will cause the
subject to go out of focus. Before focusing, turn the camera on or restart the
standby timer by pressing the shutter-release button halfway.
Autofocus and rangefi nder features are supported at all focal lengths.
When using this lens, ignore any sections of the camera manual listing au-
tofocus and rangefi nder restrictions for lenses with a maximum aperture
slower than f/5.6.

Focus
Focus
Focus mode is determined by the camera focus mode. See the camera
manual for information on camera focus mode selection. Users of D810-
series, Df, D750, D7200, D7100, or D5200 cameras should note that if the
standby timer is allowed to expire, the focus position will change when
the timer is restarted. Refocus before shooting. Longer standby times are
recommended for manual focus and in other situations in which you may
not release the shutter immediately after focusing.
Autofocus
Focus is adjusted automatically when the camera is in autofocus mode. The
focus ring can also be used to focus the camera if the shutter-release but-
ton is kept pressed halfway (or if the AF-ON button is kept pressed); this is
known as “autofocus with manual override” (M/A). Autofocus will resume
when the shutter-release button is pressed halfway (or the AF-ON button is
pressed) a second time. Note that touching the focus ring while autofocus
is in eff ect will change the focus position.
Manual Focus
When the camera is in manual focus mode, focus can be adjusted by rotat-
ing the lens focus ring.

Vibration Reduction (VR, AF-P DX NIKKOR 70–300 mm
f/4.5–6.3G ED VR Only)
f/4.5–6.3G ED VR Only)
Vibration reduction (VR) is available when an AF-P DX NIKKOR 70–300 mm
f/4.5–6.3G ED VR lens is mounted on the camera and the shutter-release
button is pressed halfway. Vibration reduction can be turned on and off us-
ing the
Optical VR
option in the camera menus; when on, it reduces blur
caused by camera shake, allowing shutter speeds up to 4.0 stops slower
than would otherwise be the case, increasing the range of shutter speeds
available. The eff ects of VR on shutter speed are measured according to
C
amera and
I
maging
P
roducts
A
ssociation (CIPA) standards; FX-format lens-
es are measured using FX-format digital cameras, DX-format lenses using
DX-format cameras. Zoom lenses are measured at maximum zoom.
Using Vibration Reduction: Notes
• When using vibration reduction, press the shutter-release button halfway
and wait for the image in the viewfi nder to stabilize before pressing the
shutter-release button the rest of the way down.
• When vibration reduction is active, the image in the viewfi nder may be
blurred after the shutter is released. This does not indicate a malfunction.
• When the camera is panned, vibration reduction applies only to motion
that is not part of the pan (if the camera is panned horizontally, for ex-
ample, vibration reduction will be applied only to vertical shake), making
it much easier to pan the camera smoothly in a wide arc.
• If the camera is equipped with a built-in fl ash, vibration reduction will be
disabled while the fl ash charges.
• Vibration reduction is generally recommended when the camera is
mounted on a tripod, although you may prefer to turn it off depending
on shooting conditions and the type of tripod.
• Vibration reduction is recommended when the camera is mounted on a
monopod.

The Optional Lens Hood
The Optional Lens Hood
The lens hoods protect the lens and block stray light that would otherwise
cause fl are or ghosting.
Attaching the Hood
Align the lens hood mounting mark (
●
) with the lens hood alignment mark
(
) and then rotate the hood (
w
) until the
●
mark is aligned with the lens
hood lock mark (—
{
).
When attaching or removing the hood, hold it near the
symbol on its
base and avoid gripping it too tightly. Vignetting may occur if the hood
is not correctly attached. The hood can be reversed and mounted on the
lens when not in use. When the hood is reversed, it can be attached and
removed by rotating it while holding it near the lock mark (—
{
).

Lens Care
Lens Care
• Do not pick up or hold the lens or camera using only the lens hood.
• Keep the CPU contacts clean.
• Use a blower to remove dust and lint from the lens surfaces. To remove
smudges and fi ngerprints, apply a small amount of ethanol or lens clean-
er 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 fi ngers.
• Never use organic solvents such as paint thinner or benzene to clean the
lens.
• The lens hood or NC fi lters can be used to protect the front lens element.
• Attach the front and rear caps before placing the lens in its lens case.
• If the lens will not be used for an 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 irrepa-
rable damage.
• Leaving the lens in extremely hot locations could damage or warp parts
made from reinforced plastic.
