Thank you for purchasing the AF-S NIKKOR 16-35mm f/4G ED VR lens. Before using this lens,
please read these instructions and refer to your camera's User's Manual.
Major features
•
The Nano Crystal Coat deposited on some of
the lens elements ensures that fine, clear images
can be reproduced under various shooting
conditions, from the sunny outdoors to
spotlighted interior scenes.
•
By enabling vibration reduction, slower shutter
speeds (2.5 stops*) can be used, thus increasing
the range of usable shutter speeds and zoom
positions, particularly when hand-holding the
camera. (*The effects of VR on shutter speed
are measured according to Camera and Imaging
Products Association (CIPA) standards;
FX-format lenses are measured using FX-format
digital cameras, DX-format lenses using
DX-format cameras. Zoom lenses are measured
at maximum zoom.)
•
Superior optical performance and rendering
characteristics are maximized with the use of
three aspherical lens elements and two extralow 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.
Important
•
When mounted on Nikon DX format digital SLR
cameras, such as the D300-Series and D7000,
the lens’ picture angle becomes 83°-44° and its
35mm equivalent focal length is approx. 24-
52.5 mm.

Focusing (Fig. A)
Set your camera’s focus-mode selector
according to the chart below:
Autofocus with manual override
(M/A mode)
a
Set the lens focus mode switch to M/A.
b
Autofocus is enabled, but autofocus
operation can be overridden by rotating
the separate focus ring while pressing the
shutter-release button halfway, or by
pressing the AF-ON button on the camera
body of cameras so equipped.
c
Press the shutter-release button halfway
or the AF-ON button once again to cancel
manual focus and resume autofocus.
Getting good results with autofocus
Refer to “Notes on using wide- or super
wide-angle AF NIKKOR lenses” (P. 27).
reduced while the shutter-release
button is pressed halfway and also at
the instant the shutter is released.
Because vibration is reduced in the
viewfinder, auto/manual focusing and
exact framing of the subject are easier.
OFF: The effects of camera shake are not
reduced.
Notes on using vibration reduction
• After pressing the shutter-release button
halfway, wait until the image in the
viewfinder stabilizes before pressing the
shutter-release button the rest of the way
down.
• Due to the characteristics of the vibration
reduction mechanism, the image in the
viewfinder may be blurred after the shutter
is released. This is not a malfunction.
Kr
20
• If the camera is panned in a wide arc,
compensation for camera shake in the
panning direction is not performed. For
example, only the effects of vertical camera
shake is reduced with horizontal panning.
• Do not turn the camera off or remove the
lens from the camera while vibration
reduction is operating. Failure to observe
this note could result in the lens sounding
and feeling as if an internal component is
loose or broken when it is shaken. This is
not a malfunction. Turn the camera on
again to correct this.
• With cameras featuring a built-in flash,
vibration reduction does not function while
the built-in flash is charging.
• When the camera is mounted on a tripod,
set the vibration reduction ON/OFF switch
to OFF. However, it is recommended that
the switch be set to ON when using the
camera on an unsecured tripod head or
with monopod.
• If this lens is used with cameras that do not
have the vibration reduction function
(P.17), set the vibration reduction ON/OFF
switch to OFF. With the Pronea 600i/6i
camera, in particular, battery power may
become quickly depleted if this switch is
left ON.
Focusing, zooming, and depth of
field
Before focusing, rotate the zoom ring to
adjust the focal length until the desired
composition is framed. If your camera has a
depth-of-field preview (stopdown) 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. 156.
Setting the aperture
Use the camera to adjust the aperture
setting.
The built-in flash and vignetting
• The built-in flash cannot be used over
distances of less than 0.6 m (2.0 ft).
• To prevent vignetting, do not use the lens
hood.
• For the latest information on vignetting
with this lens, see the camera manual.
• Vignetting is the darkening of the corners
around the image that occurs when the
light emitted by the flash is obstructed by
the lens barrel.
• 35 mm/1 m (3.3 ft) or greater
Vignetting occurs at any
shooting distance.
Using the lens hood
Lens hoods minimize stray light and protect
the lens.
Attaching the hood
• Be sure that the
lens hood
mounting index
(
) is aligned with
the lens hood
setting index
(
) (3).
• To facilitate attachment or removal of
the hood, hold it by the base (near the lens
hood attachment index (
its outer edge.
• If the lens hood is not correctly attached,
vignetting may occur.
• To store the lens hood, attach it in the
reverse position.

Notes on using wide- or super wide-angle AF NIKKOR lenses
In the following situations, autofocus may not perform as expected when shooting with wideor super wide-angle AF NIKKOR lenses.
C A person standing in front of
a distant background
D A field filled with flowers
1. When the main subject in the focus
brackets is relatively small
When a person standing in front of a
distant background is positioned within
the focus brackets, as shown in Fig. C, the
background may be in focus, while the
subject is out of focus.
2. When the main subject is a finely
patterned subject or scene
When the subject is finely patterned or of
low contrast, such as a field filled with
flowers, as shown in Fig. D, focus may be
difficult to acquire using autofocus.
Responses to these types of situations
(1) Focus on a different subject located at the
same distance from the camera, apply
focus lock, recompose, and shoot.
(2) Set the camera’s focus mode to manual
focus and focus manually on the subject.
Refer to “Getting Good Results with
Autofocus” in the camera’s User’s Manual.
