What type of motor does this lens use for autofocus?

Can I use this lens on a DX-format camera?

Troubleshooting

Autofocus is not working.

Ensure the focus mode switch on the lens is set to 'AF'. Check if the camera's focus mode is also set to autofocus. Clean the lens contacts on both the lens and camera. If these steps do not help, try manual focus.

Images are not sharp.

Check the focus. Make sure the subject is in focus by either using autofocus or focusing manually. Set a faster shutter speed if there is camera shake. Check the aperture, the lens performs best when stopped down 1-2 stops from wide open. Clean the lens from any smudges or dirt.

Vibration Reduction not functioning.

Make sure the VR switch on the lens is turned on. The VR system may not function when a tripod is used; it is recommended to turn the VR off.

Lens is not recognized by the camera.

Make sure the lens is securely attached to the camera body. Clean the lens contacts on both the lens and camera body with a dry, lint-free cloth.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Versatile zoom range suitable for a wide variety of photographic situations.
  • Constant f/4 aperture allows for consistent exposure and depth of field control.
  • Effective Vibration Reduction system for sharper images.
  • Fast and quiet autofocus due to the Silent Wave Motor.
  • High-quality optics with Nano Crystal Coat for reduced aberrations.

Cons

  • Heavier than some lenses, potentially making it less convenient for extended handheld shooting.
  • Can be more expensive than some other zoom lenses.
  • May exhibit some distortion at the extreme ends of the focal range.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

  • Compatibility: This lens is compatible with Nikon FX-format cameras, and it can also be used on DX-format cameras, though the effective focal length will be multiplied by the camera's crop factor (typically 1.5x).
  • Mounting: Align the lens with the camera's lens mount, and rotate until it clicks into place. Ensure the lens is securely attached before use.
  • Autofocus Settings: Set the focus mode on your camera body to either 'AF-S' (Single-servo AF) or 'AF-C' (Continuous-servo AF), depending on your shooting needs.
  • Vibration Reduction: Enable the VR system on the lens (if applicable) to activate image stabilization. Note that in some situations, VR can be turned off, such as when using a tripod.
  • Care and Maintenance:
  • Clean the lens with a soft, lint-free cloth.
  • Avoid touching the lens surface with your fingers.
  • Store the lens in a cool, dry place when not in use.
  • Use a lens cap and a lens hood to protect the front element from scratches and impacts.
