Thank you for purchasing the AF-S DX NIKKOR 18-55mm f/3.5-5.6G VR. DX Nikkor lenses are specially designed for
use with Nikon digital-SLR (Nikon DX format) cameras, such as the D2-series and D40-series. 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
• Enabling vibration reduction (VR) allows for shooting
at shutter speeds approximately three stops* slower
(at a focal length of 55mm) than when vibration
reduction is disabled, thus expanding the range of
effective shutter speed options, and simplifying
hand-held shooting at a variety of zoom positions.
(*Based on results achieved under Nikon
measurement conditions. The effects of vibration
reduction may vary by individual and/or shooting
conditions.)
• This lens employs a Silent Wave Motor to drive the
focusing mechanism, making autofocusing smooth,
silent and almost instantaneous. The A-M mode
switch 9 is provided for simple selection of
autofocus (A) or manual focus (M) operation.
• More accurate exposure control is possible because
subject distance information is transferred from the
lens to the camera body.
• The use of one aspherical lens elements ensures sharp
pictures virtually free of color fringing. Also, by utilizing
a seven-blade diaphragm that results in a nearly
circular aperture, out-of-focus objects in front of, or
behind, the subject are rendered as pleasing blurs.
