Thank you for purchasing the AF-S DX NIKKOR 18-200mm f/3.5-5.6G ED VR II lens. DX NIKKOR lenses are specially
designed for use with Nikon digital-SLR (Nikon DX format) cameras, such as the D300-series and D90. When
mounted on Nikon DX format cameras, the lens picture angle is equivalent to approximately 1.5
× the focal length
in 35mm format. Before using this lens, please read these instructions and refer to your camera’s User’s Manual.
■ Major features
• By enabling vibration reduction (VRII), 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.)
• It is possible to switch between NORMAL mode,
which reduces effects of camera shake under normal
shooting conditions, and ACTIVE mode, which
reduces effects of more noticeable camera shake
such as that which occurs when taking pictures from
a moving vehicle.
In NORMAL mode, the camera automatically
distinguishes camera shake from panning motion to
reduce the effects of camera shake with horizontal or
vertical panning.
• Superior optical performance and rendering
characteristics are maximized with the use of three
aspherical lens elements and two extra-low
dispersion (ED) glass elements, which ensure
correction of chromatic aberration. In addition, the
rounded aperture produces soft and pleasing blur
characteristics in portions of pictures that are out-of-
focus.
