Thank you for purchasing the AF-S DX NIKKOR 10-24mm f/3.5-4.5G ED 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
• This lens employs a Silent Wave Motor to
drive the focusing mechanism, making
autofocusing smooth, silent and almost
instantaneous. The focus mode switch d 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
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 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 Internal
Focusing (IF) system. As the shooting
distance decreases, the focal length also
decreases.
