CONTROLLING DEFOCUS IMAGEMAKING IMAGE BLUR
While pushing the DC ring lock release button, rotate the DC ring toward the R (rear) side to blur the background, or toward the F (front) side to blue the foreground (see illust. A). To effectively blur background or foreground images. turn the DC ring so the f-number on the DC ring (aligned to the DC ring index) is same as the aperture in use. Turning the ring beyond the aperture in use lets you create a soft-focus effect. See photos on page 4.(In thes case, do not use the autofocus and focus manually using the clear matte field in the viewfinder.) Defocus control should always be performed before focusing. If you rotate the DC ring after focusing, or during focus lock in autofocus photography, your subject will be out of focus. With the DC ring at either the F or R side, the distance scale may not show the correct distance. The effect of defocus image control depends on subject conditions such as subject-to-background distance, subject-to-foreground distance, etc. Image blur cannot be verified through the viewfinder. To obtain the desired effect, take a series of shots with the DC ring at various settings.
Thank you for purchasing the AF DC-Nikkor 135mm f/2 D lens. Features of this lens are: Nikons DC (Defocus image Control) enables you to defocus the background or foreground. Rounded diaphragm opening makes out-of-focus elements appear more natural. Thanks to Nikons Rear Focusing (RF) system, the rear lens elements move inside the lens while focusing, so there is no increase in the overall length of the lens. This also provides quicker AF operation and improved durability. Built-in lens hood minimizes flare when shooting in bright sunlight. Distance information used for 3D Matrix Metering or the 3D Multi-Sendor Balanced Fill-Flash will be transmitted instantly from the lens to the camera body. Before using your new lens, read this manual carefully so you get the maximum value from your lens now and for years to come. Important! Be careful not to soil or demage the CPU contacts. Do not attach the following accessories directly to the lens; they could damage the lens CPU contacts; Auto Extension Ring PK-1, Auto Extension Ring PK-11, K1, Ring, Auto Ring BR-4, Macro Adapter Ring BR-2 or K2 Ring. (Use PK-11A instead of PK-11, BR-6 instead of BR-4, BR-2A instead of BR-2.) This lens cannot be used with AF finder DX-1(for the Nikon F3AF)

FOCUSING

This lens can be used for both autofocus and manual focus. To select autofocus, while pressing the A-M ring lock release button, turn the AM ring so that A aligns with the A-M index. Also, set the cameras focus mode selector to autofocus position. To select manual, turn the A-M ring so M aligns with the A-M index. Also, set the cameras focus mode selector for manual focus.
With a Nikon autofocus camera, improperly setting the cameras focus mode selector and lens A-M ring may damage the camera body.
