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, slower shutter
speeds (3.5 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; FXformat lenses are measured using FX-format
digital cameras, DX-format lenses using DXformat cameras. Zoom lenses are measured at
maximum zoom.)
• 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.

■
Focusing, zooming, and depth of
En
En
field
Before focusing, rotate the zoom ring 5 to
adjust the focal length until the desired
composition is framed.
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 Nikon 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 so that the
camera may focus at a position that is closer
than infinity.
16
• When the zoom lock switch g is set to LOCK
position at the focal length of 18mm, the
zoom ring is locked. When carrying the
camera, lock the zoom ring to prevent the
lens from extending due to its own weight.
■ Setting the aperture
Use the camera to adjust the aperture setting.
■ Variable maximum apertures
Zooming the lens from 18mm to 200mm
decreases the maximum aperture by 1
stop.
However, there is no need to adjust the
aperture setting to achieve correct exposures
because the camera automatically
compensates for this variable.

Setting the vibration reduction ON/
OFF switch (Fig. B)
ON:The effects of camera shake are
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.
Setting the vibration reduction mode
switch (Fig. C)
Set the vibration reduction ON/OFF switch to
ON and choose a vibration reduction mode
with the vibration reduction mode switch.
NORMAL:The vibration reduction mechanism
primarily reduces the effects of
camera shake. The effects of camera
shake are also reduced with
horizontal and vertical panning.
ACTIVE: The vibration reduction mechanism
reduces the effects of camera shake,
such as that which occurs when
taking pictures from a moving
vehicle, whether it be normal or
more intense camera shake. In this
mode, camera shake is not
automatically distinguished from
panning motion.
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.
• When taking panning shots, be sure to set
the vibration reduction mode switch to
NORMAL.
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.
En
19
• Do not turn the camera off or remove the
lens from the camera while vibration
En
reduction is operating. Failure to observe this
En
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.
• With autofocus cameras featuring an AF-ON
button, vibration reduction does not
function even when the AF-ON button is
pressed.
• When the camera is mounted on a tripod, set
the vibration reduction ON/OFF switch e to
OFF. However, set the switch to ON when
using a tripod without securing the tripod
head, or when using a monopod.
20
■ 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.
* Vignetting is the darkening of the corners
around the image that occurs when light
emitted by the flash is obstructed by the lens
hood, or by the lens barrel depending upon
the focal length or shooting distance.
• The built-in flash on the D100 has an angle of
coverage suited to focal lengths of 20mm
and greater.
Vignetting occurs at a focal length of 18mm.
• For the latest information on vignetting with
this lens, see the camera manual.
En
21
■ Using the lens hood
The lens hood blocks light rays that have
En
harmful effects on pictures. It also helps to
En
protect the glass surface of the lens.
Attaching the hood
• Be sure that the
lens hood
mounting index
(
C) is aligned
with the lens
• To facilitate attachment or removal of the
hood, hold it by the lens hood attachment
index (
A) rather than its outer edge.
• If the lens hood is not correctly attached,
vignetting may occur.
• The lens can be stored with the lens hood
attached in the reverse position.
22
■ Lens care
• Be careful not to allow the CPU contacts c
to become dirty or damaged.
• If the lens mount rubber gasket b is
damaged, be sure to visit the nearest Nikonauthorized service representative for repair.
• Clean lens surfaces with a blower brush. To
remove dirt and smudges, use a soft, clean
cotton cloth or lens tissue moistened with
ethanol (alcohol) or lens cleaner. Wipe in a
circular motion from the center to the outer
edge, taking care not to leave traces or touch
other parts of the lens.
• Never use organic solvent such as thinner or
benzene to clean the lens, as this could cause
damage, result in a fire, or cause health
problems.
• NC filters are available to protect the front
lens element. The lens hood also helps to
protect the front of the lens.
• When storing the lens in its flexible lens
pouch, attach both the front and rear lens
caps.
• When the lens is mounted on a camera, do
not pick up or hold the camera and lens by
the lens hood.
• When the lens will not be used for an
extended period of time, store it in a cool, dry
place to prevent mold and rust. Be sure to
store the lens away from direct sunlight or
chemicals such as camphor or naphthalene.
• Do not get water on the lens or drop it in
water as this will cause it to rust and
malfunction.
• Reinforced plastic is used for certain parts of
the lens. To avoid damage, never leave the
lens in an excessively hot place.

Wir danken Ihnen für das Vertrauen, das Sie Nikon mit dem Kauf des AF-S DX NIKKOR 18-200mm 1:3,5-5,6G ED VR II
entgegenbringen. DX-NIKKOR-Objektive sind speziell für die Verwendung mit digitalen Nikon-Spiegelreflexkameras mit
DX-Bildformat konstruiert, wie etwa der D300-Serie und der D90. Der Bildwinkel des Objektivs entspricht bei
En
En
Verwendung an einer DX-Format-Kamera dem eines Objektivs mit der ca. 1,5-fachen Brennweite an einer
Kleinbildkamera. Machen Sie sich bitte vor dem Gebrauch dieses Objektivs mit dem Inhalt dieser
De
Bedienungsanleitung und dem Benutzerhandbuch Ihrer Kamera vertraut.
■ Die wichtigsten Merkmale
•
Bei eingeschaltetem Bildstabilisator können längere
Belichtungszeiten (3,5 Stufen*) verwendet werden. Auf
diese Weise kann mit längeren Belichtungszeiten
fotografiert werden, insbesondere bei
Freihandaufnahmen mit längeren Brennweiten.
(*Die Wirkung des Bildstabilisators (VR) auf die
Belichtungszeit wird gemäß CIPA-Standards ermittelt
(Camera and Imaging Products Association); FX-Objektive
werden an FX-Format-Kameras gemessen, DX-Objektive
an DX-Format-Kameras. Zoomobjektive werden bei der
längsten Brennweiteneinstellung gemessen.)
• Es sind zwei Bildstabilisatormodi verfügbar: 1 der
Modus NORMAL zum Reduzieren von
Kameraverwacklungen und 2 der Modus ACTIVE
zum Reduzieren einer starken Kameraverwacklung,
etwa bei Aufnahmen aus einem fahrenden Fahrzeug.
Der Bildstabilisator wirkt auch bei Kameraschwenks,
da das Objektiv automatisch Schwenks von
Kameraverwacklungen unterscheidet, wodurch ein
effizientes Funktionieren des Bildstabilisators (im
Modus NORMAL) möglich wird.
• Durch zwei ED-Glas-Linsen (extra-low dispersion) wird
der Farbfehler effektiv korrigiert. So werden eine
außergewöhnlich hohe optische Leistung und
Abbildungsqualität erzielt . Die Blende mit abgerundeten
Lamellen erzeugt ein sehr natürliches Bokeh bei unscharf
abgebildeten Objekten in Vorder- und Hintergrund.
