Reduction, engineered specifically for each VR NIKKOR lens, enables handheld
shooting at up to 4 shutter speeds slower than would otherwise be possible,
assuring dramatically sharper still images and video capture.
Automatic Tripod Detection Mode Engages VR image stabilization when
mounted on a tripod to minimize camera shake that occurs at shutter release.
Nano Crystal Coat Further reduces ghosting and internal lens flare
across a wide range of wavelengths for even greater image clarity.
Super ED Glass Element Super ED glass excels at eliminating secondary
spectrum and correcting chromatic aberration and offers low refractive index and
lower dispersion. Also Super ED Glass is more resilient to rapi temperature
changes.
3 Extra-low Dispersion (ED) Elements Offers superior sharpness and
color correction by effectively minimizing chromatic aberration, even at the
widest aperture settings.
Three Focus Modes A/M mode joins the familiar M/A and M modes,
enhancing AF control versatility with fast, secure switching between auto and
manual focus to accommodate personal shooting techniq
Internal Focus (IF) Provides fast and quiet autofocus without changing
