The AF-S Zoom-Nikkor ED 80-200mm f/2.8D IF employs a Silent Wave Motor inside
the lens to drive the focusing mechanism, thus the "S" designation. As a result,
autofocusing is smooth, silent, and almost instantaneous. In addition, this lens
features internal focusing (IF), so there is no change in the overall length of the lens
from infinity to its closest focusing distance of 1.5m (4.9 ft.), contributing to
balanced hand-held operation. Moreover, five ED (Extra-low Dispersion) lens
elements are used to produce images that are sharp from center to edges and
virtually free of color fringing, regardless of the focal length setting.

focus
is
needed. The small white dot just to the left of the distance index line is the
infrared compensation index at the 80mm setting. First, focus manually on the
subject, then realign your focused distance with the small white dot. Then attach
red (R60) filter for infrared photography. To determine the position of the infrared
compensation index at all focal lengths, use this chart:
