User manual NIKON AF-S DX 18-55MM F/3.5-5.6G ED

[. . . ] DX Nikkor lenses are specially designed for use with Nikon Digital SLR cameras (Nikon DX format). These lenses can be attached to film-based 35mm SLRs, but will not work properly due to the reduced size of the image circle. Before using this lens, please read these instructions and the notes on safety operations in your camera's user's manual. [. . . ] Autofocus (A) or manual (M) mode can easily be selected with the focus mode switch. Autofocusing with manual override is provided, allowing instant change from autofocusing to manual focusing. More accurate exposure control is possible when this is mounted on a Nikon camera having 3D Matrix Metering capability, because subject distance information is transferred from the lens to the camera body. The use of three aspherical and three ED (extra-low dispersion) lens elements ensures sharp pictures virtually free of color fringing. Also, by utilizing a 9-blade diaphragm that produces a nearly circular aperture, out-of-focus images in front of or behind the subject are rendered as pleasing blurs. First turn the zoom ring until the desired composition is framed in the viewfinder before focusing. If your camera has a depth of field preview (stop-down) button or lever, depth of field can be observed while looking through the camera viewfinder. Wipe in a circular motion from center to outer edge, taking care not to leave traces or touch other parts of the lens. Never use thinner or benzene to clean the lens as this might damage it, result in a fire, or cause health problems. When storing the lens in its lens case, attach both front and rear caps. When the lens will not be used for a long time, store it in a cool, dry place to prevent mold. Do not get water on the lens or drop it in water as this will cause it to rust and malfunction.
