Thank you for purchasing the AF-S DX NIKKOR 18-105mm f/3.5-5.6G ED VR lens. DX Nikkor lenses are specially
designed for use with Nikon digital-SLR (Nikon DX-format) cameras, such as the D300 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 (VR), slower shutter
speeds (approximately three 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.)
• This lens employs a Silent Wave Motor to drive the
focusing mechanism, making autofocusing smooth,
silent and almost instantaneous. The A-M mode
switch a is provided for simple selection of
autofocus (A) or manual focus (M) operation.
• More accurate exposure control is possible when this
is mounted on a Nikon camera with 3D color matrix
metering capability, because subject distance
information is transferred from the lens to the camera.
• Superior optical performance and rendering
characteristics are maximized with the use of one
aspherical lens element and one extra-low dispersion
(ED) glass element, 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.
