Focus Adjustment  
You can adjust the focus of the subject you are photographing by turning the focus  
adjustment ring on your lens, as it is an MF (manual focus) adjustment lens. To do so,  
please follow the steps below:  
1. When focusing on a subject from a long distance, turn the focus ring to the right  
(∞ to 1) and focus on the clearest subject by using the indication signal on the camera or  
by checking visually.  
2. When focusing on a subject from a short distance, turn the focus ring to the left  
(1 to ∞) and focus on the clearest subject by using the indication signal on the camera or  
by checking visually.

Brightness Control  
You can set the amount of brightness you want by turning the aperture adjustment ring when  
using your lens.  
[Aperture adjustment ring markings]  
When you turn the aperture adjustment ring between 22, 16, 11, 8, 5.6, 4, 2.8, 2 and 1.4 you are  
making 1 stop each turn. Brightness can be set more precisely by making half stops as well (see  
below).  
5.6 and 8 are 1 stop apart (1EV).  
Set a 0.5 stop (0.5EV) between 5.6 and 8

Camera Settings (continued)  
3. When a manual focus lens is attached, some Nikon cameras allow you to enter the  
focal length and the brightness. With these Nikon cameras, you can use the lens more  
efficiently by entering the focal length and the brightness.  
For some Nikon cameras, if you enter the focal length and the brightness, and set the  
desired brightness by turning the aperture adjustment ring, the camera automatically  
changes the shutter speed. Therefore you don’t have to adjust the shutter speed as  
well, which is required in M mode.  
(Note: Camera settings are different depending on each model and are subject to change due to  
functional enhancements. For detailed information on your camera’s settings please refer to your  
camera’s manual or contact the camera’s manufacturer.)
