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 18–55 mm f/3.5–5.6G 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.
