Approximate depth of field can be
determined by checking the depth-of-field
indicators.
If your camera has a depth-of field preview
(stop-down) 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 in focus at
a position that is closer than infinity.
• For more information, see p. 206.

Using a built-in rotating tripod collar
When using a tripod, attach it to the lens’ tripod collar instead of the
camera.
• When holding the camera by its handgrip and rotating the camera
with the lens in its tripod collar, your hand may bump into the tripod,
depending on the tripod in use.
• It’s possible to detach the tripod collar by removing the tripod collar
lock screw. For details on this procedure, contact your nearest Nikon
service center or representative office.
Changing the camera position

(

). Depending on camera position (vertical or

rotating position index (

(
