Notes on Safety Operations

En CAUTION

Do not disassemble
Touching the internal parts of the camera or lens could result in injury. Repairs should be performed only by qualified technicians. Should the camera or lens break open as the result of a fall or other accident, take the product to a Nikon-authorized service representative for inspection after unplugging the product and/or removing the battery.
Keep out of reach of children
Particular care should be taken to prevent infants from putting the batteries or other small parts into their mouths.
Observe the following precautions when handling the camera and lens
Keep the camera and lens unit dry. Failure to do so could result in fire or electric shock. Do not handle or touch the camera or lens unit with wet hands. Failure to do so could result in electric shock. When shooting with back-lighting, do not point the lens at the sun or allow sunlight to pass directly down the lens as this may cause the camera to overheat and possibly cause a fire. When the lens will not be used for an extended period of time, attach both front and rear lens caps and store the lens away from direct sunlight. Failure to do so could result in a fire, as the lens may focus sunlight onto a flammable object.
Turn off immediately in the event of malfunction
Should you notice smoke or an unusual smell coming from the camera or lens, remove the battery immediately, taking care to avoid burns. Continued operation could result in injury. After removing or disconnecting the power source, take the product to a Nikon-authorized service representative for inspection.
Do not use the camera or lens in the presence of flammable gas
Operating electronic equipment in the presence of flammable gas could result in an explosion or fire.
Do not look at the sun through the lens or viewfinder
Viewing the sun or other strong light sources through the lens or viewfinder could cause permanent visual impairment.

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 DXformat 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 cameras Users Manual. 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-offocus.

Major features

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 (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 so that the camera may focus at a position that is closer than infinity.

Setting the aperture

Use the camera to adjust the aperture setting. Zooming the lens from 10mm to 24mm decreases the maximum aperture by 2/3 stop. However, there is no need to adjust the aperture setting to achieve correct exposures because the camera automatically compensates for this variable.

Focusing (Fig. A)

Camera focus mode AF (A/S/C) MF
Variable maximum apertures
Set your cameras focus mode selector according to the chart below:
Lens focus mode switch M/A M Autofocus with Manual focus (Focus manual override assist is available.) Manual focus (Focus assist is available.)
For more information on camera focus modes, refer to your cameras Users Manual.
Autofocus with manual override (M/A mode)
1 Set the lens focus mode switch d to M/A. 2 Autofocus is enabled, but autofocus operation can be overridden by rotating the separate focus ring 7 while pressing the shutter-release button halfway, or by pressing the AF-ON button on the camera body of cameras so equipped. 3 Press the shutter-release button halfway or the AFON 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. 17).
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 the light emitted by the flash is obstructed by the lens hood, or lens barrel, depending on the focal length or shooting distance.

Digital-SLR cameras D700 Supported focal length/ Shooting distance 18mm/No restriction 18mm/1.5 m (4.9 ft.) or greater 20mm/1 m (3.3 ft.) or greater 24mm/No restriction 20mm/2.5 m (8.2 ft.) or greater 24mm/1 m (3.3 ft.) or greater 24mm/1 m (3.3 ft.) or greater 24mm/1.5 m (4.9 ft.) or greater 24mm/2.5 m (8.2 ft.) or greater

Using the lens hood

Attaching the hood
Align the lens hood attachment index (A, either of two indexes) 2 on the hood with the lens hood mounting index 4 on the lens, and turn the hood counterclockwise (as viewed when holding the camera with the lens facing away from you) until it clicks into place (Fig. B). Be sure that the lens hood mounting index is aligned with the lens hood setting index (B) 3. If the lens hood is not correctly attached, vignetting may occur. To facilitate attachment or removal of the hood, hold it by the base (near the lens hood attachment index) rather than its outer edge. To store the lens hood, attach it in the reverse position.
D300/D200/ D100 D90/D80/D50 D70-series D60 D40-series
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.

Detaching the hood

Hold the lens hood by the base (near the lens hood attachment index) and turn clockwise, as viewed when holding the camera with the lens facing away from you, to detach.
Be careful not to allow the CPU contacts a to become dirty or damaged. If the lens mount rubber gasket 0 is damaged, be sure to visit the nearest Nikon-authorized 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.

Lens care

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.

Notes on using wide- or super wide-angle AF NIKKOR lenses
C A person standing in front of a distant background
In the following situations, autofocus may not perform as expected when shooting with wide- or super wide-angle AF NIKKOR lenses.
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.
