SPECIAL FEATURES (WITH NIKON, F5-SERIES, F4-SERIES, F100, F90X/N90s*, F90SERIES/N90*, F80-SERIES/N80-SERIES*, F70-SERIES/N70*, PRONEA 600i/PRONEA 6i* OR
PRONEA S CAMERA)
Thank you for purchasing the Nikon AF-S Nikkor ED 300mm f/2.8 D IF. When used with a Nikon F5-Series, F4Series, F100, F90X/N90s, F90-Series/N90, F70-Series/N70, PRONEA 600i/PRONEA 6i or PRONEA S camera this
lens provides the following advanced capabilities:
• Rapid and quiet autofocus operation thanks to Nikon's Silent Wave Motor that dramatically reduces focusing time.
The Silent Wave Motor consists of both a stator and a rotor. The stator surface generates traveling waves when a high-frequency
voltage is applied to a voltage component attached to the stator. This causes the rotor that floats on the waves to rotate.
• Instant switching from autofocus to manual focus by presetting the focus mode switch to M/A position.
• Distance information used for 3D Matrix Metering (except F4-Series) or the 3D Multi-Sensor Balanced Fill-Flash (except
F4-Series, PRONEA 600i/PRONEA 6i and PRONEA S) will be transmitted instantly from the lens to the camera body.
• The Nikon N90s, N90, N80-SERIES, N70 or PRONEA 6i is sold exclusively in the U.S.A.
BESONDERE MERKMALE (MIT NIKON-KAMERAS DER SERIE F5, SERIE F4, F100, F90X,
F90,
SERIE F80, F70, PRONEA 600i ODER PRONEA S)
Herzlichen Dank dafur, dan Sie sich fur das Nikon-Objektiv AF-S Nikkor ED 300mm f/2,8 D IF entschieden
haben. Zusammen mit einer Nikon-Kamera der Serie F5, Serie F4, F100, F90X, F90, F70, PRONEA 600i oder
PRONEA S bietet es Ihnen die folgenden Vorteile:
• Schneller und leiser Autofokus durch neuen integriertcn Silent-Wave-Motor, der extrem kurze Fokussierzeiten ermoglicht.
Der Silent-Wave-Motor besteht aus Stator und Rotor. Die Statoroberflache crzeugt beim Anlegen einer Hochfrequenzspannung
an ein angeschlossenes Spannungstell ein Wanderfeld. Dieses regt den darauf schwebenden Rotor zur Drehung an.
» Schnelles Umschalten zwischen automatischem und manuellem Fokussieren nach Stellen des Fokussierschalter auf M/A.
• D-Charakteristik zur Nutzung der 3D-Matrixmessung (auBer Serie F4) bzw. des 3D-Multi-Sensor-Aufhellblitzes
(ausgenommen Serie F4, PRONEA 600i und PRONEA S).
FONCTIONS SUPPLEMENTAIRES (AVEC LES APPAREILS PHOTO DE LA SERIE F5.
SERIE F4, F100, F90X, F90, SERIE F80, F70, PRONEA 600i OU PRONEA S)
Nikon vous remercie d'avoir achete son AF-S Nikkor ED 300mm f/2,8 D IF. L'utilisation conjointe de cet objectii
avec un appareil photo de la serie F5, serie F4, F100, F90X, F90, F70, PRONEA 600i ou PRONEA S permet de
beneficier des fonctions evoluees suivantes:
• Mise au point automatique rapide et silencieuse grace au Silent Wave Motor (moteur silencieux) qui reduit
remarquablement le temps de mise au point.
Le moteur ondulatoire silencieux se compose d'un stator et d'un rotor. La surface du stator produit des onde<
progressives quand une tension de hautes frequences est appliquce a un composant sous tension fixe au stator.
Cela force le rotor a flotter sur les ondes pour tourner.
• Commutation instantanee du mode de mise au point autofocus au mode de mise au point manuel par prereglage du
selecteur de mise au point sur la position M/A.
• Les informations de distance ulilisees pour la mesure matricielle 3D (sauf pour le serie F4) ou le dosage auto/ Hash
ambiance multicapteur (sauf pour les series F4, PRONEA 600i et PRONEA S) sont instantanement transmises dt
l'objectif au boitier.
