many unique and exciting photo taking opportunities which we hope you will enjoy.  
Features of Your Lens:

-A single glass aspherical lens which can give you crisp looking shots even at periphery angles.  
-Two high refraction lenses made of premium optical glass.  
-An ultra-multi-coating (UMC) design that suppresses ghosting and delivers clear images.  
-Eight aperture stops, enabling effective out-focusing  
-Can be used with Nikon film and digital SLR cameras

Your VIV-35MM-N lens is uniquely designed for Nikon digital SLR cameras.  
Attaching Your Lens to Your Camera  
Hold the hood of the lens gently, and align the depth of field scale of the lens with the lens  
attachment reference point on of the camera. Next, push the lens into the camera and turn the  
lens carefully until it makes a clicking sound, and the depth of field scale is positioned on the  
upper part of the camera.  
Note: There is a CPU installed on the lens mount. For the lens to be able to communicate with  
an AF camera, the aperture adjustment ring must be turned until F22, the F-number marked on  
the aperture adjustment ring, is alligned exactly with the depth of field scale on the lens.  
Detaching Your Lens from Your Camera  
Hold the hood of the lens gently, and press the lens release button on the camera.  
Turn the lens in the opposite direction as when attaching, and carefully pull it out.

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  
(1 to ∞) 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  
(∞ to 1) and focus on the clearest subject by using the indication signal on the camera or  
by checking visually.

Brightness Control  
In A mode (Aperture Priority Mode): Turn the sub command dial at the front of the camera to adjust the  
brightness.  
In S mode (Shutter Speed Priority Mode): Turn the main command dial at the back of the camera. The  
shutter speed is changed and the brightness is adjusted according to the changed shutter speed.  
In P mode (Program Mode): Turn the main command dial at the back of the camera to adjust the  
shutter speed and brightness.  
In M mode: Turn the sub command dial at the fron of the camera to adjust the brightness.  
(The procedures above are for D300 model cameras. They may vary based on your specific camera  
model.)  
[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  
Some cameras require special settings when using this lens. Please read the information  
below and set your camera accordingly.  
The aperture of this 35mm High Speed Aspherical Lens supports a maximum brightness of  
F1.4.  
If you take a photo outdoors where there is a great deal of sunlight, you may not get a  
clear image as the subject you are photographing may be too bright. In such an instance,  
adjust the brightness to an appropriate level then take the photo.  
Since the depth of field becomes very shallow at F1.4, if the subject is not focused correctly  
you may get an unclear image . Therefore, to get a clear image, focus the subject correctly  
and then take a photo.  
If the brightness (F number) is set to 4 or larger, you may not be able to set the correct focus  
due to a difficulty in viewing the subject through the camera viewfinder. Turn the aperture  
adjustment ring so it is fully open when attaching the lens to the camera. Then turn the aperture  
adjustment ring again to set the depth of focus and brightness you want prior to shooting.

Camera Settings (continued)  
Your lens mount has electronic contacts that allow it to communicate with Nikon AF  
cameras. These contacts enable A, S, and P modes of the camera and when a subject is  
focused correctly the camera emits a beep or an indicator light comes on.  
-9-  
 
Mounting the Hood  
The hood has a bayonet system, which  
guarantees speedy, efficient, safe and precise  
installation and will help you take shots that are  
free of flaring and ghosting. Allign the  
attachment reference point on the hood with the  
reference point on the lens. Push the hood  
onto the lens and turn the hood to the right until  
it makes a clicking sound.
